Going To Stroll On State? There's An App For That

Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau

Thinking about attending Rockford’s Stroll on State this Saturday, Nov. 28? Well, now there’s an app to help you plan out your evening.

The Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau says the new interactive "Plan Your Stroll" application, available at strollonstate.com, will allow people to pick what events and attractions they want to attend.  They can then create a personalized map to help them navigate Stroll on State the night of the event.

Bureau President John Groh says the app is a way to help attendees to get the most out of their experience of the Stroll, which draws tens of thousands of people to Rockford’s downtown.

The Bureau says that people can also sign up to receive informational text messages throughout the Stroll.  The texts will remind them of major events and activities throughout the night.  They’ll also provide emergency announcements or event updates.
