ROCKFORD, Ohio โ€” Get ready for a full day of fall fun at Rocktoberfest on Saturday, October 31, in downtown Rockford! Festivities kick off at noon along Main Street, with activities, shopping, food, and entertainment for the entire family.

From noon to 4 p.m., visitors can explore a vendor market featuring more than 60 vendors and enjoy special promotions at participating retail businesses. Come hungry and check out this year’s food truck alley in addition to our local food spots, offering plenty of delicious options to satisfy every appetite.

Rocktoberfest will feature a variety of special events and activities, including music, a car show, hayrides, a Kids Zone with games and prizes, and the popular Rockford Catsup by-the-case sale. With something for all ages, there will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy the season and support local businesses.

The Rockford Carnegie Library will join the festivities with a free-will donation book sale, crafts for children and adults, and a special guest author presentation. Visitors are encouraged to stop by the library for these special activities.
