Rock the Block

Saturday, Aug. 23
11:00 am - 4:00 pm

Join us at the Rockwood Market Hall for live music, free give aways and fun activities. Stop by one of our partner booths and grab a drink or meal at one of the many Downtown Rockwood businesses.

Sticking to the roots of the Rock The Block event, Saturday’s resource fair will offer free food, back-to-school resources such as a backpack and school supply giveaways and free haircuts, and a large contingent of local businesses and community organizations.

There will also be kids activities such as facepainting, a giant bubble show, a splash pad and more.

Both the block party and resource fair will be held in Downtown Rockwood at 18535 SE Stark St. Get directions. 

A feature of this area is Rockwood Market Hall, a vibrant gathering space with restaurants, grocers, retailers and offices that surround a central community plaza.

Due to the generosity of our event sponsors, we will be giving away over 500 backpacks and school supply kits this year.

We need your help.
