Come Together!

Come Together at Dinner on the Dock! The backdrop of the scenic Rock River & downtown Rockford creates a unique and vivacious gathering where Rockford comes together to enjoy the region’s best musical acts. This year we’ve taken it a step further and have booked acts seen on The Voice, CMT and AMT Music Awards, and American Idol. DOD is THE event of the summer for the Rockford metro area and we couldn’t be more excited about the 2023 season. See you there!
