BBQ • BOURBON • BLUES
A Community Fundraiser Supporting First Responders
Mark your calendars: The second annual Rock the Blue returns Saturday, June 6!
Rock the Blue 2026 brings together great food, curated bourbon, and live blues music in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere, all in support of first responders.
This year’s goal is to cover BackStoppers dues for every Belleville Police Officer, relieving them of that personal expense. Additional funds will be donated to BackStoppers to support first responders and their families where it’s needed most.
In 2025, the event raised over $20,000 following the Fairview Heights tragedy, supporting injured officers and their families – reinforcing the purpose behind this growing community event.
More than a fundraiser, Rock the Blue is a visible show of appreciation, strengthening the bond between the community and public safety.
New this year: The event expands to two blocks on East Main Street, featuring food trucks, live music, and more space for the community to come together, allowing for greater impact than ever.
