Weeping Water’s Party On the Rocks Fall Festival

WEEPING WATER, Ne — September 6, 2022 — The Revitalization Association of Weeping Water (RAWW) invites the community and visitors to enjoy music, food, and fun at the Party On the Rocks Fall Festival in Weeping Water on September 24th.

The festivities kick off with the Flea Market on Elm Street, featuring vendors and food trucks on Elm Street and indoors at Gibson Hall from 11 am to 5 pm. RAWW and other community groups are hosting events throughout the day, including a cornhole tournament, beer garden, sidewalk sales, pumpkin painting, and dock dedication. The Weeping Water Valley Historical Society will host a day full of events, starting with Humanities Nebraska presenter David Seay’s Train Songs & Tales at Memory Lane, next the Haunting of Fate House, a kid-friendly haunted house at the Heritage House complex, and finally a presentation and Q & A session with D.A.M.M. Ladies of the Paranormal.

The party continues in the evening with Shooter Jaxx and Nate Keim. With roots in alt-country and southern rock, Shooter Jaxx’s gritty, hard-rocking shows have graced music festivals and street dances across the Midwest and far as Austin, Texas. Touring in support of their most recent EP “Southbound,” they’ve shared the stage with The Steel Woods, Jason Boland & the Stragglers, Logan Mize, Black Stone Cherry, Them Dirty Roses, and Blackhawk. Hailing from western Nebraska, country and Americana singer-songwriter Nate Keim and his band will kick off the show at 8 pm on Eldora Avenue.

Flyers with locations of times of events will be available at area businesses soon.
