Event Info
Mark your calendars for May 30th at 4:30 p.m. to join us for the third annual Rock the Nest Fest taking place at the Pioneer Pavilion in Ferndale!
This exciting free concert and family-friendly street festival brings our community together for a day of fun, connection, and support for Ferndale students. There will be something for everyone to enjoy, including face painting, a foam party (new to the event this year!), community booths with family-friendly activities, food trucks, a beer garden, and live music featuring the incredible band Nite Wave. Guests can also participate in our silent auction, which helps raise funds to support local students.
While the concert and street festival are free for everyone to attend, all proceeds from the silent auction and community donations go directly back to supporting students in the Ferndale School District through the work of the Ferndale Public Schools Foundation. The Foundation supports students in three important ways: providing You Belong Cards for immediate student needs, Student Fee Relief to remove financial barriers to school activities, and Post-Secondary Scholarships to help graduating seniors pursue their educational dreams.
We also welcome community members to bring donations of school supplies to support students in need. Bring your family, invite your friends, and come enjoy a wonderful day celebrating our community while helping Ferndale students thrive. We hope to see you on May 30th!

Concert
Nite Wave is back again!
Formed in 2011 after answering a Craigslist Ad, Nite Wave is a band passionate about 80s New Wave and putting on a night you'll never forget. Nite Wave pays homage to the artists who designed a decade and bring a certain energy to their shows that is unique and infectious.
Volunteers
Volunteers will be needed for all aspects of presenting this community event. If you would like to get involved in helping the Foundation coordinate, organize, or execute the street fair and concert, please reach out to Tracy or signup for a volunteer shift here.
Sponsors
This event wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our community partners who also believe in the Foundation’s mission. All of the Foundation board members live in the Ferndale School District and have personal ties with our sponsors. It’s because of these special relationships with business and industry that we are able to build community events to create awareness and fundraise with purpose!
