We aim to consistently bringing quality, big name musical entertainment to Timmins in the form of Rock on the River, and hold various fundraisers throughout the year to make that happen.

Cashless Bar
In an effort to streamline the bar process, and for added safety of our volunteers, we are going cashless for Bar Tokens. Cash can still be used throughout the festival (food vendors, merch, 50/50, etc), but the bar will require electronic payment (debit/credit/prepaid cards). The same process that you’re used to will apply
1) Purchase drink tokens from our staff
2) redeem drink tokens at any of the bars for your drink of choice.
