Specialized Programs & Events
Rockland Holiday Stroll | Celebrate the season at Rockland’s festive holiday celebration! Union Street will be alive with joy as families and friends gather to enjoy seasonal festivities, delicious food and drinks, public art displays, live performances, horse-drawn carriage rides, and enchanting holiday-themed attractions. We are proud to highlight Rockland’s diverse businesses, vibrant neighborhoods, and strong community spirit.
Rockland Fall Festival | Our 5th annual Rockland Fall Festival was a phenomenal community event with live music by The Band with no Name, The Locals, and Rob Henriksen Music. Children enjoyed catching sweet treats at the MountainOne Bank Candy Drop. Adults enjoyed the Beer Garden thanks to local restaurants Players Sports Bar & Grille, Abington Depot, and brewer Break Rock Brewery. Boston Bruins mascot Blades, Three Witch Sisters (Hocus Pocus), The Great Rolando, and a Sensory Tent sponsored by ABA Centers of America thrilled the crowds! Thank you to the Town of Rockland, town employees, sponsors, donors, and all who contributed to this amazing event. Who knew we'd have a fall event with hot, summer-like temperatures!
