815 DAY IS BACK AND WE’RE GOING ALL OUT.

August 15 is the 815’s day and Rockford Art Deli is throwing the block party to prove it. Two things happening at once. Both are free to attend. Both are very RAD.

LIVE PRINTING inside RAD 10am to 4pm
Watch our printers run live on the press all day long. And here’s the deal, bring your own shirt and we’ll print it for $8.15. Want a blank? We’ve got those too for $18.15. Because it’s 815 Day and everything should cost exactly that.
COFFEE BLOCK PARTY on N 1st Street 8am to 4pm (or until sold out)
We’re shutting down the block and filling it with Rockford’s best local mobile coffee trucks, carts, and trailers plus food, sweets, and a bookstore on wheels. Grab a free Coffee Flight Passport at the door, walk the block, buy a drink at every stop, collect your stamps, and bring a full card back to RAD for a reward.

Your lineup:
RAD Fuel
Cowcitas
Brew Haus Coffee from Libertyville IL
Vintage Goose Remote Stop
La Carreta Alegre Acai Cart
She she’s Bakery
My Treat Mini
Shadow and Spine Mobile Bookstore
More vendors to be announced
