ROCKLIN CIVIC CELEBRATION’S

RED, WHITE AND BLUEGRASS

Join the City of Rocklin on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Johnson-Springview Park for the Rocklin Civic Celebration: Red, White & Bluegrass, a family-friendly event that brings the community together for a fun and educational evening filled with music, history, and hometown pride!

This year’s celebration is bigger than ever, honoring America’s 250th birthday as part of the nationwide America250 Semiquincentennial commemoration. The festivities begin with a community parade from Front Street to Johnson-Springview Park, setting the stage for an unforgettable afternoon and evening!

The event showcases the work of city departments through interactive displays including vehicles from the Police and Fire Departments and equipment from the Public Works Department. Residents can learn about upcoming projects, volunteer opportunities, and ways to get involved in the city.

Families can enjoy activities like bounce houses, face painting, and balloon artistry, while everyone will enjoy live performances, delicious food from local vendors, and a spectacular fireworks and drone show starting after dusk. Admission is free and all ages are welcome.

If you are coming from the Rocklin Heritage Festival happening nearby that same day, we warmly invite you to continue the celebration with us at the park. More music, more fun, and fireworks after dark make Red, White & Bluegrass the perfect way to cap your day!
