Rock-afire Explosion Event Weather Update

We’re keeping a close eye on the forecast for the Rock-afire Explosion event on Saturday, June 6.

At this time, we are planning to move forward with the event as scheduled and are taking extra provisions with the expectation that we may see rain during the day.

The event will only be considered for our rain date if the forecast calls for severe weather or bad storms that would impact guest safety and the overall event experience.

We will make a final announcement on Friday at 5:00 PM with our official plan.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we monitor the weather. We’re doing everything we can to make the best decision for our guests, vendors, and team.
