Turn the beat around. I love to hear percussion!
Gloria Estefan sang it, but you want to feel it. Nightlife! Get some of your friends together and spend the night in Rockford: twirling your partner, tapping your fingers, stomping your feet, and singing along if the mood strikes you. Shimmy in to Kryptonite in downtown Rockford's cultural corridor. If a quieter atmosphere is more your style, enjoy a glass of wine at Brio Restaurant, Wine Bar & Patio. Whatever you choose, Rockford has a variety of venues that will keep the party going all night long.
