ROCKTON, IL — June 18–21, 2026 — The annual Old Settlers Days tradition returns to Settlers Park this summer with four days of live music, carnival rides, food, family fun, and community festivities. Presented by the Rockton Lions Club, the event is the organization’s largest fundraiser of the year — with proceeds supporting local charities and services in the greater Rockton area.
This year’s festival boasts a mix of nationally recognized country artists on the Main Stage, complemented by local favorites and supporting performances throughout the weekend. General admission grants access to festival grounds, carnival rides, vendors, and the beer tent; concert-ticket wristbands are required for the Main Stage performances.
