The Rock The Farm experience includes areas like the Butterfly Memorial Garden. Created in 2015, the Butterfly Memorial Garden is a sacred place for families and loved ones to gather in remembrance of their loved ones lost to addiction. The garden is covered in colorful flora, comfortable seating, and over 300 monarch butterflies. This is a special place to find solitude and reflect on memories. All butterflies are released in a special ceremony at sunset. Chakra Bowl Meditation will take place in the Butterfly Memorial Garden.

Rich Robinson of 90.5 The Night and Bill Spadea from New Jersey 101.5 served as emcees of the event.
