Rockport Festivals is excited to announce our first community event of 2011. We are kicking off the season with our Spring Fling, a Community Dance for all ages at Rockport's beautiful & newly restored Rockport Community House . We think it's a great way to bring Rockporters (and anyone else who wants to come) together for an evening of tunes, dancing, Twin Lights soda, and cupcakes.  What could be better than that?
