A look back at Day 1, May 9, at Rock the Country Ocala 2025
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office estimated about 14,000 people attended Day 1.
On Facebook, concert organizers praised the May 9 crowd and performances.
Professional photos were not permitted inside the venue, but the Star-Banner did get some photos on May 9 from the busy roads near the Florida Horse Park, 11008 S. County Road 475.
The sheriff’s office said Day 1 festivities finished about midnight. Several people were issued trespass warnings because they were unruly, tried to fight other patrons and/or failed to follow law enforcement commands. Two people were arrested on charges of battery on a law enforcement officer.
About 120 employees of the sheriff’s office are working in some capacity during this event. Other law enforcement agencies in the area include the Ocala Police Department and the Florida Highway Patrol.
Marion County Fire Rescue said it transported 12 patients to local hospitals, mostly for heat-related issues. The agency treated 48 patients in the medical tent and interacted with 175 patients throughout the day.
