Welcome to Rockville is an annual weekend rock festival held in the spring that features modern & classic rock and metal bands. The festival is held at the Metropolitan Park in Jacksonville. The first Welcome to Rockville festival was held in 2011. It was founded and is produced by Danny Wimmer through his festival production company, Danny Wimmer Presents, which produces rock festivals in the United States such as Rock on the Range, AFTERSHOCK, Fort Rock, Carolina Rebellion, LOUDER THAN LIFE, Northern Invasion, and Chicago Open Air.

The first Welcome to Rockville was held on Mother's Day, May 8, 2011, at the Metropolitan Park. The festival was a one day event, and ran all day Sunday, beginning around 11:00 am and ending after 10:00 pm due to city noise ordinances. A second festival the following year was planned for 2012. The second festival was another one day event that was held on Sunday April 29, 2012. This show saw the return of Jacksonville natives Shinedown to headline the festival along with Korn. The Welcome to Rockville festival was expanded from a one day event to a two-day event in 2013, and three Jacksonville native bands headlined: Limpbizkit, Shinedown, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The 2013 festival marked the start of a minor controversy about the enforcement of the city noise ordinances with respect to the festival. The lineup for the 2013 festival was announced on Friday, January 25, 2013.

Monster Energy has been a major partner in the festival since Welcome to Rockville's inception in 2011, and the main stages bear the Monster Energy name such as "Monster Energy Metropolitan Stage". The general layout of the festival is that 3 or 4 stages are spread across the venue, and entertainment & food tents are placed between the stages. Regular sponsors are f.y.e., Jägermeister, Jack Daniel's, and Zippo.

The festival was expanded to 3 days(Friday-Sunday) in 2018.
