Rock'n August
Rock'n August is an international classic car show and music festival located in the city of St. Albert, a city just north of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The event is sponsored by numerous small, medium and large businesses, including Goodyear, Wal-Mart and Molson.
As the name implies, Rock'n August takes place in the month of August over the period of 5 days, usually ending on a weekend. In 2007, the event will be held from Tuesday the 7th through Saturday, the 11th of August. As the organization is non-profit, all proceeds from the event are forwarded on to charity in support of the Alberta Diabetes Foundation.
On a typical year, the event sees more than 500 automobile entries and over 50,000 people attending the show altogether, making it one of Alberta's largest events. Apart from expected local visitors, the event attracts visitors from the nearby Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Saskatchewan, as well as those from the US states of Washington, Idaho and Montana.
