While we do take photos with our fancy camera, the real photographer is my class and bandmate from the OHS Class of 1982 Todd Hobert (aka Todd Nugent) @ Toddhobertphoto.
Attached below is the link to his website and his amazing photos.
Look for his review on Seattle Music coming soon.
Thanks Todd.
You Rock!

Our raffle winners have been contacted and are thrilled about their goodies!
If you didn't win we understand your disappointment but perhaps this will cheer you up or at least make you smile.
Local Rocker Chick and RockFest regular Hailey won the bright green Dean electric guitar!
What makes this even sweeter is that when Dan at Canyon Guitars found out it was a kid, he offered up one month of free guitar lessons to seal the deal!
This is what it's all about for us here at the Orting Rock Festival.
Thank you Dan.
You Rock!

The dust has settled.
Now we attempt to express how much it means to us to have such amazing friends and families make their way to Orting to share in our love for the local music scene.
8 great bands graced our stage this year and put on one helluva show for a park full of amazing fans!
We want to thank each and every one who was there. From our vendors and sponsors to our stage crew, attendees and volunteers. Without you it just wouldn't be possible.
The passion for live local music is definitely alive and well in the greater Puget Sound region!
The crew from the Orting Rock Festival Association sends a huge hug and much love to our performers who suited up and showed up to "Help Us Help Orting."
As we rocked late into the evening, together we raised over $1,000.00 cash plus a pile of grub to donate to our charities!
Thank you all and we hope to see you next year!

So you think it's been hot huh? You ain't seen nothing yet! We are now less than two weeks away from the hottest one-day music festival in the South Sound!
Sure, there are other amazing festivals taking place in mid-July and you can bet your hiney that some of our RockFest 2024 bands and alumni are playing at those festivals, but if you live in the south end and you're not attending WOODSHED's (our brothers from another mother) event SHEDFEST or the blowout of the summer, 99.9 KISW Presents - LOUD AND LOCAL FEST 2024 then Orting is the place to be to get your fix!
Word on the street is our headliner, and the hardest working band in the Seattle area Wyatt Olney and the Wreckage is playing all three but they guaranteed us that they were going to save some fire for our stage on the 20th. Bring it!

One month from today Orting will be the site of the hottest Music Festival in Pierce County.

Your answer:
It's all made possible by our amazing sponsors!

Impromptu Thursday night Orting Rock Festival field trip at The Redd Dog to listen to Dogger. Looking to fill that last slot for our July 20th event. Thanks for the sweet swag Clinton!

If you attended the Orting Rock Festival this past weekend, you were treated to seven amazing bands in our beautiful City Park with an awe-inspiring view of Mt. Rainier. Proudly, The City of Orting hosted some of the finest Original Artists who hail from Seattle to Olympia. You made it happen. Every one of you. Together we raised 400 lbs. of food for the Orting Food Bank and raised enough money from raffle and t-shirt sales to give both the Food Bank and The Haven Teen Center $400.00 each. Ya'll absolutely Rock!

We at the Orting Rock Festival Association are humbled and proud to once again, bring some of the best local music that the Pacific Northwest has to offer to the Arrow Lumber & Hardware stage.
Those smiles...
That love........
The best rewards.
Thank you all and we'll see you next summer!
