WOW, GRANITE FALLS! 🤘🏼 You showed up last night, and what a night it was! The party was loud, the energy was high, and we couldn’t be more proud of this amazing community! ❤️

A HUGE thank you to all of our vendors who joined us for the Makers Market, and to everyone who came out and supported them (and snagged some awesome goodies along the way)!

Thank you to the Granite Falls Fire Department for grilling up those delicious pork chops for the feed! 🔥 And thank you to Michael Jenson for donating the water for the feed!

Thank you again to all of our incredible sponsors who pour into this event and help make it possible for us to put on Rockfest for YOU! We appreciate your support more than you know!

Thank you to our amazing bands who rocked the stage and kept the party bumpin’ all night long! 🎶🤘🏼

Thank you to Pete Speh for capturing some incredible drone shots throughout the night! We were so busy keeping things rolling that we didn’t get a chance to snap many pictures ourselves, so we are incredibly grateful to have these memories captured!

And of course… THANK YOU, GRANITE FALLS, for showing up and showing out! This event is for YOU, and what an incredible way to end the summer!

Last but certainly not least, thank you to our hardworking staff. You all put so much time, care, and heart into The Rock every single day. Seeing something like Rockfest come together is truly a blessing, and we couldn’t do it without each and every one of you! ❤️

📸 We would LOVE to see your pictures and videos from the night! Drop them in the comments or share them with us!

Until next time…

WE’LL SEE YOU ALL AT ROCKFEST! 🤘🏼🎸🔥
