Description

🎉 The countdown is on… to 8-1-5 Day! 🎉

Join us for the first-ever GRCC's 8-1-5 Rockin’ Eve—a bold, high-energy celebration of all things Rockford Region! Hosted at the Hard Rock Casino, this is not your average annual dinner.

We’re talking lights, music, and big-time regional pride as we celebrate the momentum of the Greater Rockford Chamber of Commerce. Think of it as our version of New Year’s Eve—confetti, energy, and all—but with a distinctly 8-1-5 flair.

💥 Come for the vibes.
💬 Stay for the vision.
🎸 Leave ready to rock.

We’re just getting started—let's build the future, 8-1-5 style
