Rock The Barn Music Festival


Rock the Barn 2023 is a 1-day music festival to benefit Clarence Citizens for Veterans.

Come out and enjoy the music, the aroma of barbecue, kettle corn, pizza and more. The fun encounters with long-lost friends around the beer tent. And of course the great music. Heading into its 17th year, Rock The Barn has grown into a major music festival. With the help of the great bands, hard-working volunteers, our sponsors and the support of the public, the event continues to grow and prosper.

The Cause


Clarence Citizens for Veterans is a non-profit organization whose mission is to support and honor our veterans. In the few months since its inception Clarence Citizens for Veterans has worked to raise and donate thousands of dollars to both national and local entities including the Wounded Warrior Project and the SSgt Mark A Spence Memorial Scholarship Fund. We have pledged not only to sponsor a WWII Veteran for Honor Flight Buffalo giving them a chance to see their memorial in Washington DC but have also committed our time and personal resources in volunteering as guardians both this year and next. Our ultimate goal is to utilize the money and manpower to provide assistance wherever it is needed.

We are veterans. We are military families. We are caring citizens. We are 100% volunteer and other than a small percentage of money which goes to necessary operating expenses everything we raise will be used to support and honor those who have served this country selflessly.

HOW WE GOT STARTED

Rock the Barn was originally conceived as the “Barn Dance” in 2005 by Doug Sitler during an off-road tour of a 90-acre farm tract that Doug’s friends Paul and Jim Stephen had recently purchased.

Noel Dill and Tim Kulbacki rounded out the team that set up and promoted that first event which was held as a private fundraiser. With a small group of volunteers and a single band, that first “Barn Dance” drew about 250 people and raised $4,000 for Meals on Wheels. After 16 years we have raised over $1 MILLION, and Rock the Barn is one of the premier events in WNY.
