ART. BLUES. WINE. SYMPHONY.

Rockford is showing off its arts scene on Saturday, September 19—and Palace is right in the middle of it all!

After an afternoon wandering the 78th Annual Greenwich Village Art Fair, make your way downtown and settle in at Palace as Ronald Jessen brings the blues from 5–7PM.

Ronald is quickly becoming a local favorite, pairing powerful, bluesy vocals with looping guitar riffs for a sound that feels right at home with a glass of wine in hand.

And if your evening continues at the Coronado, the Rockford Symphony Orchestra opens its 2026/27 season with The Planets at 7:30PM—making Palace the perfect pre-symphony stop, too.

GREENWICH → PALACE → THE PLANETS

Now that is a Saturday in Rockford.

Ronald Jessen | 5–7PM
