Rescue Rocks is a community-driven music festival created to bring people together for a great cause: supporting local animal rescue efforts. Held in Bettendorf, Iowa at The Tangled Wood, the event combines live music, local bands, food, and family-friendly fun to raise funds and awareness for the Humane Society of Scott County, a Quad Cities nonprofit dedicated to rescuing, caring for, and rehoming pets in need.

More than just a concert, Rescue Rocks was designed as a meaningful way to give back—using the power of live music and community connection to directly support shelter operations, medical care, and spay-and-neuter efforts for animals waiting for homes. All proceeds from the festival go directly to the Humane Society, helping the organization meet growing demand and continue its lifesaving work.

Rescue Rocks represents the spirit of the Quad Cities: local music lifting up a local mission. It’s where music lovers, animal advocates, and families come together to celebrate compassion, community, and second chances—proving that rocking out can truly make a difference.
