May brings fun events for the whole family, including the second day of Rocklin Ramble. On May 1, head to Johnson-Springview Park from 8 a.m. to noon to swing, slide and crawl your way through the 5K obstacle course. Don’t forget to wear your capes and masks—it’s superhero themed! To register, visit rocklin.eventbrite.com. After the Ramble, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., journey to Sierra College for a Dinosaur Day Science Fest. Tickets include admission to the Sierra College Natural History Museum and all Science Fest activities, including exploding watermelons, “create your own dino T-shirt,” native wildlife meet-and-greets, fossil hunts and slime making.

The Kiwanis Club’s Community Festival returns May 12-15 at Johnson-Springview Park. Packed with carnival rides and games, it’s an event sure to put a smile on everyone’s face! 

Wrap up the month with a concert on May 21 at Quarry Park Amphitheater (4060 Rocklin Road). Enjoy some fun in the sun during a beach party, as The Parrotheads—a Jimmy Buffet tribute band—start the night off right with the sounds of summer. On the main stage, groove to the soothing sounds of the Beach Boys and their groundbreaking CD, California Project with Papa Doo Run Run. Purchase tickets at rocklinconcerts.eventbrite.com.
