Rock Falls Tourism is incredibly excited and honored to host the Bellson Music Fest at the RB&W Park in Rock Falls on Saturday, June 18, 2022. This event is being planned to carry out the legacy of Louie Bellson who was born in Rock Falls and became a famous drummer, composer/arranger, and band leader.
