Atoka Rock the Block August 12

Rock the Block - a partnership event hosted by the Town of Atoka and Gateway Baptist Church - is our annual summer celebration in the heart of Atoka.  Born in 2013 as a grand opening event for the new splash pad complex at Walker Park, the event was so well received (and so much fun) that we just had to make it an annual event.  Now a summer tradition in Atoka, Rock the Block 2016 promises to be the best one yet, with bigger fireworks, more great activities and laser tag in the park!
