Are you looking for a fun way to celebrate Labor Day near your McHenry County real estate? Well, you’re in luck. Once again, Illinois largest street festival, On the Waterfront, will take place in Rockford over Labor Day weekend. The four-day festival will begin Thursday, Sept. 1 and run through Sunday, Sept. 4.

Jason Derulo will headline Saturday, Sept. 3 with Stone Temple Pilots to close out the festival Sunday. Thursday, the Rock Allegiance Tour featuring Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Puddle of Mud, Crossfire, Red and Drive A will perform.

On The Waterfront is always an entertaining event and a good way to end the summer season. Three-day passes are $15 if purchased in advance, wristbands will be available for $15 for a one day admission at the gate. Have fun and enjoy the festival.
