May 25th – 27th in Pryor, OK. —
Every Memorial Day Weekend, tens-of-thousands of people make their way to the small city of Pryor, Okla., hoping for good weather, a chance to escape the real world and a weekend of non-stop Rock-N-Roll!
Fans were lucky this year, as the bad weather stayed away, and the rockers and “freaks” came out to play. This festival is such a big deal, that many festival goers purchase their tickets before the lineup is even announced.
We have been attending this festival for many years now, and it has been a true pleasure to watch as it continues to grow every year. They continue to make improvements to the property, as well as adding more campsites, to make room for more campers.
It’s estimated that at least 15,000 campers called Rocklahoma their home this year, which is pretty crazy when you think about the fact that the city of Pryor has a population of just under 10,000.
One festival-goer, who was attending his fifth Rocklahoma, was quoted saying “You never know what you’re going to see, or maybe even where you’re going to wake up at Rocklahoma.” The atmosphere, the live music, and good people are what keep him coming back year after year.
Another festival-goer was quoted as saying, “The Rocklahoma festival experience just isn’t the same if you stay at a hotel.” The campgrounds are where new friends are made, and sometimes the party is still going when the sun comes up.
Overall, this festival is a great experience and we recommend that you buy your tickets early and put it on your bucket list of things to do in 2019! Don’t miss out on America’s Biggest Memorial Day Weekend Party!
