From children playing among the festival activities to families gathering for live music and fireworks, Rocky Hill's Fall Festival brought the community together for a beautiful day at Elm Ridge Park's Veterans Memorial Amphitheater.
The festival had a warm, welcoming spirit — peaceful, joyful and full of people enjoying time together. Children could play in the bounce houses, enjoy games and have their faces painted, while food trucks gave families plenty to choose from.
Music added to the celebration. Mac Daddy, a rock band, performed twice, giving the crowd two chances to enjoy live music. The day's festivities ended with a fireworks display at around 7:10 p.m.
The decorations, the park and the amphitheater made the event feel especially festive. For me, one of the things I love about living in Rocky Hill is seeing families and neighbors come together like this.
Thank you to the sponsors, Rocky Hill City Hall, the Rocky Hill Police Department, the Fire Department and everyone in the community who helped make the festival possible or came out to enjoy it.
I want to give special recognition to the Rocky Hill Police Department. The work its officers do and their service to the community are truly appreciated. Thank you to the police officers, firefighters, organizers, sponsors and all who helped make this such a memorable day for Rocky Hill families.
