ROTR will be held at the Hollinger Park inTimmins, ON. It is located in the heart of Timmins where there is a playground,  an area for walking, picnicking, relaxing and ROCKIN’ OUT!

 Parking Info for Festival Guests Parking will be available on a first-come, first-served basis across the street from the Mountjoy Historical Conservation Area, near the Farmers Market. To access the festival, use the trail under the bridge—no need to cross busy Riverside Drive!

Timmins Festivals and Events Committee (TFEC) is a non-profit organization, made up of 8 totally awesome, super tired people who wanted to make Timmins a better place by planning fun things for Timmins folks to do. 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.

Who are the SUPER AWESOME sponsors that step up to make this happen?

Personal lawn chairs are not allowed due to limited space, however, there is plenty of seating available on site in the bleachers, beer tents, accessibility platform and picnic tables throughout the festival.

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.
