Introducing a brand‑new and FREE Rally in the Valley tradition — Valley Fest! For the first time ever, a block of Main Street will be closed down and transformed into a community mini‑golf course. Local businesses will design and build their own mini putt holes that creatively represent who they are.

The community is invited to come out and play mini golf, enjoy the atmosphere, and explore each business‑built hole. Teams will consist of 2 players, and at the end of the evening, we’ll tally the scores to see who comes out on top.

Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 teams, making this a friendly competition you won’t want to miss.

Registration to create a hole is closed.

Wednesday, August 5th at 6:30PM | Parkview Event Center | Incoming 1^st graders

Join us for the Little Miss Rock Valley Pageant on Wednesday, August 5th at 6:30 PM at the Parkview Event Center. This hometown tradition is a beloved part of Rally in the Valley, and we can’t wait to see the girls all dressed up and shining on stage.

Participants must be entering 1st grade in the upcoming school year. Each contestant will take the stage to answer a few easy, fun questions, pose for photos, and enjoy their moment in the spotlight.

At the end of the evening, last year’s Little Miss will draw a name from a bowl to select this year’s winner, keeping the tradition fun and fair for everyone.

All participants will also have the special opportunity to ride in the Rally in the Valley parade on Saturday, August 8th.
