Events
Something to look forward to.
Family events, youth competitions, community gatherings, and the programs Rockford organizations want families to know about.
S.A.F.E. Rockford original
Swish Fest
In 2023, players age 18 and under competed in a three-point contest and free-throw competition. The three-point champion took home a championship belt and $300.
The next edition expands the energy with an eight-team 3-on-3 tournament. Date, location, divisions and registration will be announced once confirmed.
