Now that the height of the COVID-19 pandemic is finally behind us (fingers crossed), many more summer fun opportunities will be back in action and back to normal this year. (fingers crossed).

There are many things I look forward to every year when summer rolls around, but the top three have to be, (in no particular order);

  • Fairs/Festivals/Concerts
  • Swimming and boating
  • Rockford City Market

I'm assuming you already have a list of all the concerts, fairs, and festivals that you want to go to ready to go, and have already picked out your favorite swimming and boating spots, so let's focus on the 2022 kickoff for Rockford's beloved City Market.
