Rock the Hops is a fantastic opportunity for your brand to reach a unique cross section of the Riverbend and beyond. From musicians to music lovers, artists to entrepreneurs, beer makers to beverage enthusiasts, our audience is largely community and civic-minded, and takes note of the local stakeholders who share in their values. Rock the Hops has offered music-lovers over 150 live music sets performed by 600+ local up-and-coming and established artists, and has showcased hundreds of local visual artists, from filmmakers and photographers, to painters, printmakers, ceramic artists and more. Rock the Hops remains the first and only festival in the region to combine all of these elements, and the result is one giant community celebration of creative culture. The gathering of hundreds of musicians, visual artists, sound techs and volunteers, alongside craft beer brewers, culinary experts, and engaged patrons make Rock the Hops a visionary day in the Riverbend. Your support is instrumental to our local creative scene. It means a great deal to all of the creatives showcased that there is such strong support each year.
