Mike and Erin Jo Weber created the Rocking for Rock Spring Park event to raise funds for Christmas Wonderland. This is the second year for the concert.
“My wife and I grew up enjoying a lot of family fun at Rock Spring Park, and this is our way to give back,” said Mike Weber, community event organizer. “We believe that Rock Spring Park is a hidden gem in Alton’s park system and we want to do what we can to support its growth and rebirth.”
The event brings together a variety of local musical bands celebrating genres and names including POWJr72, Agents of the Free, The Dead Roses, Status 0 and Hideous Gentlemen. After the event, Big George and the NGK band will play at Old Bakery from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
A silent auction will feature items from mandolins to guitar lessons and locally made crafts, with all funds going to Christmas Wonderland. Tickets for the event are $10, and will include a token for one free beer for those over 21. Food will be available for purchase through the brewery.
