March 17, 2022 By Richard C. Gilbert

RockyFest is back in 2022 after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The family-friendly festival will be held on Saturday, April 23 at Rocky Face Mountain Recreational Area in Alexander County. The free event, which runs from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., features live music, food, arts/crafts vendors, free rock climbing sessions, children’s activities, and more. This year’s event is extra special as Alexander County celebrates the 10th anniversary of Rocky Face Park.
