Yay, Rockin’ Holiday 2019 was a big success!
Thanks to all that made Rockin Holiday 2019 a Rockin’ success and make it better every year. We delivered a lot of magic to the Modesto holiday season and put a lot of smiles on kids’ faces with our Rockin’ North Pole, Rockin’ Santa and the Rockin’ Elves, the Rockin’ Snow and Rockin’ Music in the Plaza with special amazing Rockin’ Tree animated light shows. It takes an amazing team to bring Rockin’ Holiday to Modesto each season and we could not do this without the amazing teamwork of our supporters and sponsors. Working together, we are creating new spaces, events and activities that make Modesto vibrant and interesting. We made it through some vandalism that set us back, but we delivered on our mission to create classic Modesto winter wonderland, that is free to all that visit and encourages people to come to Downtown Modesto.
Thank you Sierra Pacific Warehouse Group, our ModestoView Crew, Modesto Toyota, W Stuart C Steakhouse, Brian Friend / Laser Voodoo, the Modesto Downtown Entertainment Group and Collins Electrical Company for the amazing support, hard work and creativity over all these years.
There is a big crew that makes each night come to life and huge thanks to our Rockin Sponsors: the City of Modesto, Fores & Macko Attorneys, Plink, Visit Modesto, Ralston’s Goat, Graffiti Dogs, Rodin Ranch Farmer’s Market, Fuzio Universal Bistro, Brenden Theatres, the Patch Crew, Modesto Area Music Association – MAMA, Downtown Modesto Partnership (DOMO), Modesto DID, and cheerleaders Sammy D and T for the amazing support that makes things real.
Thank you to our Rockin’ Santa, Elves, North Pole Staff, and sound crews and the bands that played. Thank you Rockin Santas Mike Allsup & Steve Waldron, North Pole production team Jennifer Allsup, Eli Allsup, Christian and Zach Boyatt, Krista Lyons, Hannah Griffith, Leah Palleschi, Jackie Gonzales and the amazing sound skills of Mark Oseau and Modesto Sound and the Modesto City Staff that made it possible to do this in 10th St Plaza.
Rockin’ Holiday will be back on December 5, 2020! Hopefully you like twinkle lights over 10th St the rest of the year and we are already working on some new surprises for next year. Thank you Modesto.
