Rocktoberfest

One of the most favorite events in all of Kentucky happens every October in Campton. Rocktoberfest is another Red River Gorge festival filled with music, food, and camping. Although the music features some rock and roll, it favors more heavily country and folk bands.

In fact, the name, itself, stems from the popular rock-climbing contest where entrants display near superhuman vertical feats of strength and climbing prowess as they scale the heights of Red River Gorge. Following the climbing competition on Saturday, aspiring climbers can avail themselves of the expertise of climbers via the climbing clinic. At this clinic, students can learn safety strategies and climbing techniques.
