It has traditionally been held on the oval near the beach, and the tradition has been carried on now that the oval has been redeveloped as part of the new Rockingham Beach Village.
With free entry, free entertainment, a range of rides and showbags, the street parade and fireworks display (now moved to 9pm as it's not dark enough at 8 since the introduction of daylight saving in summer), this is an the event of the year in Rockingham. Many local businesses will have their products on display, as well as clubs and societies. There's local crafts and food for sale (and a beer tent).
The Rockingham Spring Festival is the third largest non government sponsored event in WA. In 2003, over 40,000 people visited the festival over the two days.
All cities and lots of towns have an annual 'show', they're all quite similar, the biggest being the Royal Show in Perth in September.
They're all held at different times during spring/summer/autumn, ask around and see if there's one on in your locality.
