Join us October 18, 2025 for our 7th annual ROCKTOBERFEST and Monster Splash Seaplane Fly-In. ADMISSION IS FREE and festivities are held in our beautiful, lakeside Wooton Park. Live rock music, seaplane competitions, food trucks, merchandise vendors and downtown businesses will be ready to serve you.
Festivities will begin with our Monster Splash Seaplane Fly-In; whether you're a pilot, aviation enthusiast, or simply curious about amphibious aircraft, you don't want to miss this! Seaplanes fly in from all over to participate in our flying competitions, like the crowd's favorite "Pumpkin Drop" contest. While the pilots compete, we will give pumpkin decorating kits and candy to the first 100 kids at the Pilot Registration Tent. The seaplane flying contests are scheduled to begin at 11:00 am, and the Pilot/Spectator Meet & Greet will be from 1:00 pm- 3:00 pm, where you can get photos with the pilots and their planes.
Following the contests, we will kick off our power-packed rock show!

VENDORS: Thank you so much for your interest in joining us for Rocktoberfest. This year, we received an overwhelming response from vendors, which made the selection process particularly challenging. Unfortunately, our vendor list has now been finalized. We look forward to the possibility of working together at future events.
