Rockford’s Festival of Lights Kicks Off 30th Year on Friday
It just doesn't feel like Christmas without loading the kids into our van, armed with hot chocolate, to take a drive through Rockford's Festival of Lights in Sinnissippi Park.
My kids love looking at the lights knowing Santa is waiting to wave to them at the end of the line, and they are going to LOVE that there will be a whole bunch of new stuff to look at this year...over 20 new displays in fact!
