We are proud to announce our 2020 Rockin' Robbins band lineup!! Special thanks to this year's Presenting Sponsors who help make it all possible!
Tue. July 14 – A Salute to the Music of Prince by Chase & Ovation presented by TerWisscha Construction, Inc.
Tue. July 21 – Mason Dixon Line presented by Schwieters Chevrolet of Willmar
Tue. July 28 – Wild Angels: Women of Rock, Pop & Country presented by Mills Auto Center of Willmar
Tue. August 4 – The Fabulous Armadillos presented by Lakeland Broadcasting.
It was another incredible year for Rockin’ Robbins 2019, and thanks to perfect weather for the second year in a row, we were able to surpass all previous attendance records! With crowds averaging between 3,000-5,000 each week and continued strong support from our Willmar business community, the Willmar Rotary Club raised over $82,000 during last year’s concert series!
Proceeds continue to support improvements at Robbins Island, as well as other Rotary initiatives. In 2019, our Rotary club was once again able to donate $10,000 to the spectacular “Celebrate the Light of the World” holiday light display at Robbins Island. We are also excited to see progress on the new four-season shelter being built with Super Bowl Legacy Funds, and anticipate construction of the new road and parking lots to begin next August, funded by the Local Option Sales Tax. Future projects include two additional three-season shelters along the north side of the new road, and – if all goes as planned – we hope to use our Rockin’ Robbins proceeds to build a permanent concert stage!
Rockin’ Robbins continues to be a huge success and a win-win for our whole community. We are now looking for sponsors for Rockin’ Robbins 2020. We have already sold all four of our Presenting Sponsorships, but are actively looking for Opening Act Sponsors, Major Sponsors and Significant Partners.

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.
The old bathrooms at Robbins Island beach are now history as we make way for a new 4-season rental pavilion. Think kayaks, paddle boards, ice skates, cross country skis... this is going to be great! Stay tuned for more progress updates, and thanks to everyone for supporting our vision of a new and improved Robbins Island Regional Park!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.But will there still be restrooms on Robbins Island?
Awesome!!
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!
