Rockton-Roscoe News: Tuesday, June 9, 2026
The 100 West block of Main Street in Downtown Rockton will not be available for parking on Sunday at all, because of Sunday's Ironman/Summerpalooza combo. Once the racers come through (before 11 a.m. or 12 p.m.), the Village of Rockton will close down the ends of the street for Summerpalooza. "That takes a little time," they say, "so we're encouraging folks to enjoy the pool while we make the transition."

Updates from Rockton, Roscoe and South Beloit: from the staff of the award-winning Rockton-Roscoe News.
