Rockton River Market prepares for its season finale with music, makers, and community energy
Rockton River Market runs from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Settlers Park.
Rockton’s beloved River Market is gearing up for its final event of the season, and organizers say they’re expecting one of the strongest turnouts yet. The closing night, running from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., will bring together live music, local vendors, and the last Farmer’s Market of the year—an evening designed to celebrate the community that has supported the weekly tradition all summer.
🎶 Hank’s Neighbors set to headline the finale
This year’s final performance features Hank’s Neighbors, a group known for their rural, Americana‑inspired style. Their appearance is expected to draw a wide audience to the Settlers Park.
🌽 Final Farmer’s Market of the season
Alongside the music, residents will have one last chance to browse fresh produce, baked goods, handmade crafts, and small‑business offerings. Vendors say they’re preparing for a busy evening as shoppers typically use the finale to stock up and show support before the market closes until next summer.
🎨 Face painting, family activities, and festival atmosphere
Organizers anticipate a lively crowd filled with families and festival‑goers. Recent events have featured colorful face painting—everything from bright skull motifs to whimsical bats and clouds—and similar activities are expected to return for the finale. Attendees often arrive early, explore vendor booths, and settle into lawn chairs for the evening’s entertainment.
🌆 A strong finish ahead
The final River Market aims to close out summer on a high note. Organizers encourage residents to come out, enjoy the music, support local makers, and help send off the season with a full crowd.
