River District Association

River District is where you will find a myriad of opportunities to live an urban lifestyle. It is Northern Illinois’ hub for arts and entertainment, cultural venues & activities, salons, unique dining and shopping experiences, luxurious loft apartments, historic residential neighborhoods, attractive parks, and grand old churches. The beautiful Rock River is a vital component of Rockford’s River District, drawing resident and visiting boaters from around the region. Another unique asset of the River District is its rich architectural and historical legacy...





The District also is home to City, County, State, and Federal governments, County Court system, numerous law offices, architectural firms, and many types of professional businesses such as high-tech, graphic design, newspapers, and multi-media firms.





With the support of the entire Rockford Community, the organization has experienced tremendous growth over the last several years. We welcome and appreciate your patronage to the District.
