Rockford Jams is an outdoor concert series held at the beautiful open-aired Sinnissippi Park Music Shell. Surrounded by majestic trees, local and regional talents work their musical magic during the summer months.
Get ready for an unforgettable summer experience with Rockford Jams—an enchanting celebration of live music nestled in the heart of Sinnissippi Park in Rockford, IL! Formerly known as Music in the Park, this beloved community tradition has a fresh name but keeps all the rhythm, charm, and good vibes you know and love.
Surrounded by nature’s beauty, Rockford Jams is the perfect blend of relaxing outdoor vibes and soul-stirring sounds. As the sun dips behind the trees, let the music carry you away with performances from talented local musicians who bring the park to life with jazz, classical, folk, and more.
Pack your picnic baskets, grab your lawn chairs and blankets, and bring your friends and family for an evening under the stars. Come early to wander the scenic trails, take in river views, and enjoy the lush landscape before settling in for the music.
Join us every Tuesday and Thursday evening throughout the summer—because there’s no better way to unwind than with great tunes and great company at Rockford Jams!
