Rocktoberfest, the annual fundraiser for children's charity A Leg To Stand On (ALTSO), will unite over 2,000 professionals in NYC and Chicago from the alternative investments and finance industry for live rock & roll and acoustic music, featuring over a dozen bands whose talented performers are industry leaders.
This year’s 12th Annual Rocktoberfest-Chicago will take place on October 5th at City Winery; the organization’s milestone 20th Annual Rocktoberfest-NYC will take place on October 19th at the Hard Rock Cafe.

Wedbush: Rocktoberfest-Chicago Sponsor Since 2016.
