What is Visit Beloit?

Discovering the Heart of the Stateline: Visit Beloit

When it comes to capturing the essence and vibrancy of the Stateline area, few organizations do it as well as Visit Beloit. Since 1987, this private, non-profit 501(c)(6) organization has been the official tourism entity for Beloit, Wisconsin. Over the years, they have expanded their reach to serve not only the city of Beloit but also the town of Beloit, the city of South Beloit, Illinois, and the village of Rockton, Illinois. Their mission is clear: to be Greater Beloit's tourism champion, using their expertise to generate a positive economic impact and create a vibrant community for residents and visitors alike.

In addition to their primary tourism functions, Visit Beloit operates the Beloit Convention & Visitors Bureau Charitable Foundation, Inc., a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
