Rock Carnival Coming to Lakewood Sept. 30-Oct. 2

Legendary rockers Twisted Sister’s final Tri-State Area appearance will top the bill at the Rock Carnival taking place from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 at First Energy Park in Lakewood. The stellar bill also includes former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley, Cinderella frontman Tom Keifer, and Jersey thrashers and psychedelic rockers Overkill and Monster Magnet, respectively.

There’s even an international flavor, with German metal icon Doro Pesch also scheduled to perform. More acts will be announced soon.

There are plenty of non-musical attractions as well that make for a family-friendly event, including more than 50 food trucks, classic carnival rides, professional wrestling and pig racing. Last year’s inaugural Rock Carnival was held in Clark.

"The incredible new layout, amenities and resources are sure to enhance the Carnival experience for our fans and their families,” said John D'Esposito, the carnival’s producer.
