With so many great places to Shop the Rock, it’s no wonder we had such amazing participation in our annual Best of Round Rock poll! Remember: When you Shop the Rock, you’re improving our City one purchase at a time!

The Best of Round Rock is an annual anonymous vote put together by Round the Rock and Shop the Rock. Nominations were asked for and collected in January 2016 on the Round the Rock website. From the over 500 nominations, the top 5 nominees from each category were added to the vote. Voters had from February 8, 2016 thru March 4, 2016 to vote. Voters were only allowed one opportunity to cast their vote (no multiple votes were allowed). Thank you to everyone who participated!

Join us at Music on Main Street in Downtown Round Rock from 6 to 8 p.m. for the presentation of the Best of Round Rock Awards:

• March 16, 2016: Best of Children

• March 23, 2016: Best of Food

• March 30, 2016: Best of Shopping

• April 6, 2016: Best of Entertainment
