Rockville 2019 - Weekend Guide NEW

GUIDE TO ROCKVILLE 2019 | Welcome To Rockville Festival at Metropolitan Park in Jacksonville, FL | May 3-5, 2019

by • April 25, 2019

Loud guitars, buzzing amps, and soaring vocals — Welcome to Rockville is coming up fast!  Jacksonville’s Metropolitan Park will host a mob of hard rock fans on May 3, 4, and 5, 2019.

The thing I love so much about Welcome To Rockville is how well they go above and beyond in planning the experience of the fan. As someone who loves going to shows, I have so many selections throughout the year of which festivals to attend, and it’s really nice to feel appreciated! Go enjoy the seriously delicious food lineup paired with bountiful drinks. 

GOURMET FOOD & LIBATIONS

Caduceus Cellars & Merkin Vineyards Wine Garden (owned by Maynard James Keenan, co-founder of international recording acts Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer) will be OPEN ALL WEEKEND!

Say “aloha” to any worries when you stop by Heavy Tiki — specialty island cocktails and tropical beats playing all weekend!  

There are so many gourmet food options available at Welcome To Rockville! We’re growing up and we just aren’t interested in classic carnival food anymore (I speak for myself). The food selections at Rockville are supreme and include a ton of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options (check them all out here). If you’re not vegan, there is a BACON RESTAURANT — Hebro’s Kitchen featuring Bacon Mac and Cheese,  Bacon Gyros, homemade Bacon Corn Fritters, and more. I’m excited to try Angry Bird Grill for medieval hand-forged iron cajun grilled chicken on a skewer or a turkey leg, and stoked about Gouda Boys who have the SCARFACE (Brisket and Mac N Cheese) or the Dr. Lector (Brisket, Sausage, Grilled Chicken, Mac N Cheese).

In addition, I’ll be surveying Sweet Pete’s: An All Natural sweet Shoppe, get your sweet tooth going with cotton candy, Ice cream, chocolates, caramels, chocolate covered strawberries, and much much more!
