What's in store for Rocktoberfest X?
Join the Millburn Education Foundation in 2026 to celebrate Rocktoberfest. Rocktoberfest is a music festival fundraiser in its 11th year featuring incredible live music, local food and drink vendors, retail and artisan vendors, a beer garden and lots of fun activities for the entire family.
Featured Headliner
We are pleased to announce our 2026 headliner: Leon and the Peoples! They are NYC's #1 Reggae Soul Band and fuse the heartbeat of reggae with the warmth of soul into a sound entirely their own. We can't wait for them to take the Rocktoberfest stage! For more info, check our Lineup page.
4 Stages with Live Music
Rocktoberfest is also proud to showcase local musicians and teen bands on several stages throughout the day and evening. Each band brings their own unique sounds to the stage, offering a diverse mix of genres that reflect the spirit of our community. Whether you're into rock, pop, or Bollywood dance, there's something for every musical taste.
Kid Zone
Our Kid Zone has activities for pre-K to age 18 including inflatables, rides, carnival games, face painting, and more!​ Wristbands and tickets will be available for purchase. Wristband pre-sales are open now!
Inclusivity Zone
In 2026, we are expanding our Inclusivity Zone, presented in partnership with Special Olympics NJ, including the Low Sensory Performance Stage featuring acoustic music in a quiet and air-conditioned space inside the Bauer Center. Just outside of the Low Sensory Stage, we have NJ Special Olympics activities, including an obstacle course and a basketball demo.
