Picture this: you, your friends, some awesome tunes, and a breathtaking view of the Rock River and downtown Rockford. That’s what Dinner on the Dock (DOD) is all about! It’s where the whole Rockford community gathers to soak up the summer vibes and groove to the best music around.

Dinner on the Dock promises fantastic food, locally crafted beer, and top-notch musical acts that’ll have you dancing the night away. And guess what? You can roll up in your car or sail in on your boat – either way, you’re in for a treat every Thursday night in downtown Rockford.

Kicking off the lineup this year is Three Good Men! These guys know how to get the party started with tunes that span the ages and get everyone on their feet.

RESERVATIONS:

They’ve made snagging a table easier than ever. From cozy tables for two to bigger setups for six, Prairie Street Brewing Company has got you covered. Prices start at just $25, so there’s no reason not to snag your spot. And hey, don’t forget about those VIP perks – think umbrella-covered tables, a special appetizer menu, and easy-peasy check-in at the south side of the dock.

Got a boat? Lucky you! Lock in your slip and get ready to enjoy prime riverside entertainment. For just $40, you can secure your spot from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. on your reservation day. Plus, you’ll get to munch on a pre-order appetizer menu served in convenient to-go containers.

PSB totally gets that plans change, so here’s the scoop on cancellations: full refunds are up for grabs up to two weeks before the event. Within that two-week window, they can’t swing refunds, but they can transfer your reservation to another DOD event – as long as there’s room, of course. If not, no worries! They’ll hook you up with a gift card instead.

Mother Nature can be unpredictable. If the weather turns sour, they might have to move the party indoors – but don’t fret, your reservation will still be honored, and they’ll save you a primo table inside Prairie Street. Just keep an eye out for any updates.

So, what are you waiting for? Round up your crew, book your spot, and get ready to make some unforgettable memories at Dinner on the Dock 2024! See you there!
