This year's Black Rock Day is in memory of Jan Williams.

The Williams Family was instrumental in the creation of Black Rock Day back in 1976 under the direction of the Black Rock Community Council's first president Kaye Williams (Jan’s father). Throughout the years, Jan continued to be an active and enthusiastic supporter of Black Rock Day and recently established Captain's Cove as a major sponsor.  The Black Rock Community Council is pleased to honor Jan by holding this year's event in her memory.

Black Rock Day continues to grow in popularity as a great way to kick off the summer.

Fun! Fun! Fun! and Much, Much More!


Come join the fun and check back often for updates!
