"See you there, rockers!"

There’s a free public concert coming to Oro Valley — an event that pays tribute to first responders, active duty military, veterans, and Gold Star families.

On Sunday, October 15, the annual Rockin’ 4 Heroes festival is taking place at James D. Kriegh Park, 23 W. Calle Concordia, from 2 – 6 p.m. Awesome music, excellent atmosphere, and tasty food and drinks are what you can expect at this year’s event.

Rockin’ 4 Heroes was founded in 2021 by Michael and Bonnie Quinn to honor the first responder community (paramedics, police, doctors, and nurses) for the care they provided to their late son PJ during his battle with cancer.

To pair with the live music and entertainment, there’s going to be at least nine food vendors dishing out the goods from 2 – 6 p.m.

Participating Food Vendors

  • B&G Chicago Dogs
  • Fork & Fire
  • Wild Bill’s Kettle Corn
  • Coffee Cure
  • Tucson Tamale
  • YumYum Pocha Korean Food
  • El Guajillo Catering
  • Jeremiah’s Ice Cream
  • Noble Hops

Rockin’ 4 Heroes is free to attend, but the organizers ask everyone to register because it helps them plan/ensure there is enough food, drinks, space, and services to accommodate.

You can also make a donation online if you can’t attend the charity event.

James D. Kriegh Park is located at 23 W. Calle Concordia. For more information and to register for your free spot at the show, visit rockin4heroes.org.
