ROCKTOBERFEST featuring Monster Splash Fly-In

Join us every October for our 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 favorite “Pumpkin Drop” contest. While the pilots are competing, we will be giving away pumpkin decorating kits to the first 100 kids at the Pilot Registration Tent. The seaplane flying contests are scheduled to begin at 11:00am and the Pilot/Spectator Meet & Greet will be from 1:00pm- 3:00pm where you can get photos with the pilots and their planes. 

Following the contests, we will kick off our power-packed live rock show!
