The Rock the Coast festival is an annual event held in Michigan. Its roots go back to the original Summer Festival in Muskegon Unity. The festival is aimed at the youth and Christian rock bands are the medium.[1]
The festival began in May 2004 at Michigan's Adventure amusement park, north of Muskegon. In addition to the music, patrons who numbered 2000 to 4000 took part in other attractions which included park rides. In 2012 there was no event but the following year, it returned with a bigger variety. However, it stopped again. The organizers were hopeful for a return, and after a downtime of three years, it returned it 2017. It had also shifted its location from Muskegon to Holland at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds. The festival director at the time was Kevin Newton.[2]
