Middletown Rocks 2026! Are you ready to rock?

Middletown Rocks is the event of the year! Join the Community Building Institute Thursday, May 14th at the historic Sorg Opera House for a night full of singing, dancing, and community. This annual benefit concert raises funds to support CBI's summer, afterschool, and workforce development programs. Our peer-to-peer fundraisers are competeing to bring in the most dollars leading up to the concert. On May 14th, they'll hit the Sorg stage and we hope you'll be there to cheer them on! Patrons can look forward to seeing our performers backed by a live band (Live Your Dream), a showcase by our RISE students, and a special presentation to a local hero. A General Admission ticket grants you entry the Sorg, but select the VIP add-on to enjoy food, drinks, and festivities at The Windamere before the big show.
