Rock The Barn Music Festival


Rock the Barn is a 2-day music festival to benefit Meals on Wheels.

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 16th 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


Meals On WheelsMeals on Wheels is a non-profit organization that provides home delivered nutritious, low cost meals to seniors (age 60+) and those convalescing or with mental or physical disabilities. Some of your friends and family may have been beneficiaries of this program.

Rock the Barn Fundraising GoalWhile Meals on Wheels delivers meals all over Western New York, it was discovered that the program was significantly lacking in the Clarence, Akron & Newstead area. Thus the Rock The Barn music festival was started in order to create a self-sustaining endowment fund of $1,000,000 for Meals on Wheels services in Clarence, Akron and Newstead. To date, Rock The Barn has reached its goal and raised over $1 MILLION!

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.
