Celebrating 20 Years of Rock the Park in London Ontario - Enter to win

We'll start with the Disclaimer - Yes, we did receive complimentary tickets, but this just means we're able to offer you a chance attend too! Enter the contest at the end of this post!

We are big fans of the Rock the Park music festival that happens in Harris Park in London, Ontario, Canada. This weekend long outdoor concert has something for everyone. Over the years we have watched rock musicians, pop stars and hip hop artists perform for the crowd.

   

This summer Rock the Park is celebrating its 20th year of bringing people together to celebrate live music!

For 2024, RBC Rock the Park will be celebrating its 20th anniversary. The festival has had over 675,000 attendees over the past 19 years and raised over $4 million for local charities and will continue on with its tradition as being one of the most anticipated outdoor summer festivals in Canada. It truly is about having a great time with friends, bringing back great memories and creating new ones. Each year we strive to make the festival better than the year before with an overall improved atmosphere, ultimately creating the perfect fan experience!

This year we are featuring Friday July 12th with performers NAS, NE-YO, Lil Jon, Sean Kingston & More!

Infant and Child Studies group is a group of researchers interested in better understanding child cognition: so how kids learn! All our studies are designed as games for children to play while we observe how they respond to various toys, videos or sounds. The activities are fun for the kids, and help us to understand concepts like how children learn new words, when children can begin to understand math, or what learning strategies kids use to understand new concepts. We deliver studies in person, as well as online and in take home formats.
