Station Park is known for its many events throughout the year. From their craft markets, to Family First Mondays, and even their yearly Halloween event Villains in the Village, there’s something for everyone. But an event that many seem to look forward to is the Summer Concert Series that they hold in the middle of Station Park itself by the fountain. Their Rock the Park event.

“We really want to be a place where people have special memories and celebrations,” Tammy Montoya, the Senior Marketing Manager for Station Park said. “We have the Rock The Park concert series. We have Family First Mondays. We have our Villains in the Village. We have all these established events that really become part of our guests’ memories. So that’s really what we wanted to do, is really be something more than just a shopping center to the community, to the area, to Farmington.”

Rock The Park has been going on for 12 years now and with their partnership with the local hospital, Common Spirit Holy Cross Davis they predict they will be able to keep up the event for a long time.

Rock The Park consists of several tribute bands throughout the summer showcasing different genres of music. Some of the popular ones this summer have been tribute bands that have done music from Abba and Def Leppard. The final one that they plan to showcase is a tribute band that does music from the Foo Fighters.

“They’re top-notch, and it’s such a treat to see how much joy everyone gets from the concert,” Montoya said. “It brings them back to their high school memories. Their kids grew up probably with the same music that they listened to when they were in high school, and now they get to enjoy it through these tribute bands.” 

There’s a lot that goes on to create this event every summer. A variety of  people come together to put together this concert series every year and each Friday. Several teams from Station Park each have their own duty. Housekeeping, concierge, marketing, and the different shops around the Station Park area, just to name a few.

“I’d like to say I do it all, but it definitely is not,” Montoya said. “My portion is to organize it, help get it funded, and then execute it on the day of. We have a housekeeping crew, security, our admin team, operations. It is all hands on deck. We contract them to be onsite and to do those tasks that are needed. And they all help in putting together this concert. Everyone has a hand in it.” 

So it's definitely a family project in a way, she said “I feel like all of us together work hard to create this event and to bring it to fruition. So it’s not only me, it’s all these people who help every week, set it up, tear it down, and do all the things that we need to do to make it happen. And I’m so thankful to have all of those departments and their support because I couldn’t do it by myself.”
