About ‘Round the Rock

• Gravatar

Since 2012, Round the Rock has been the go-to source for what’s happening in Round Rock, TX — events, activities, local businesses, and nonprofits. Our mission is simple: help this community thrive.

Round the Rock is run by Stephanie, a Round Rock local who’s been covering the community for years. We’re not outsiders reporting from a distance — we live here, shop here, and eat here, just like you do.

Round Rock is home to a baseball team, incredible parks and trails, world-class food, and a thriving local business scene. We’ve been the place to discover all of it since day one.

Every year, we host the Best of Round Rock awards — celebrating the businesses, restaurants, and organizations this community loves most. See the 2025 winners.

Disclosure

Sponsored Content

Round the Rock occasionally publishes sponsored or paid content in partnership with local businesses, organizations, and brands. When a post is sponsored or compensated, it will be clearly labeled as such — for example, “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” or “This post is sponsored by [Brand].” This disclosure will appear at the top of the post.

Our opinions are our own. We only partner with businesses and organizations we genuinely believe in and would recommend to our readers. Compensation never influences our editorial voice.

Affiliate Marketing

Some links on this site may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through that link — at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links will be disclosed in the relevant post. We only recommend products and services we trust.

Social Media

The same disclosure standards apply to our social media channels. Sponsored or compensated posts on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms will be clearly labeled with #ad, #sponsored, or “Paid Partnership,” in compliance with FTC guidelines.

AI-Assisted Content

Round the Rock may use AI tools to assist with research, editing, or drafting content. All published content is reviewed, edited, and approved by a human team member before publication. AI is a tool — the voice, judgment, and community knowledge behind every post is ours.

FTC Compliance

These disclosures are made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255) and updated FTC guidance on social media disclosures.
