Due to the COVID-19 crisis, our bands have had to make several changes to their 2020 event calendars. As a result, we’ve had to do some juggling on our end, as well.
To accommodate everyone's schedules, we will now open our season with Mason Dixon Line on July 14th (presented by Schwieters Chevrolet), followed by Chase & Ovation’s Prince Tribute on July 21st (presented by Terwisscha Construction).
The rest of the lineup remains the same, with Mills Automotive Group presenting Wild Angels and their “Women of Rock, Pop & Country” show on July 28th, and Lakeland Broadcasting rounding out the season with the ever-popular Fabulous Armadillos on August 4th.

During these scary and uncertain times, we are so grateful to be living in a community like Willmar that always steps up and comes together in times of crisis. We are proud to call this place home and we can’t thank you enough for your ongoing support. We are hopeful to see everyone back at Robbins Island very soon so we can all laugh, hug, and celebrate with friends and family once again.
Cannot wait!!! Thank you for keeping this planned!! We need good fun things to look forward to!
Something to Do!
Looking forward to these great concerts!

It’s happening! The new 4-season shelter and rental pavilion is officially under construction at Robbins Island. Can’t wait to see the finished product next spring! Welcome to Willmar’s new Assistant City Engineer, Bruce Cochran, who was onsite today checking out the progress.
A HUGE thank you to all our sponsors who help make Rockin' Robbins possible – we couldn't do it without you!
Since 2016, Rockin' Robbins has grown from a tiny speck of an idea to a wildly successful community event that has raised over $150,000 dollars for the revitalization of our beautiful Robbins Island Regional Park. Even more important, this free summer concert series has brought our community together in ways we could have never imagined. We are so proud. Thank you, Willmar! See you again in 2020!
