Hopscotch Music Festival is an annual 3-day music festival in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, United States. It was founded by Greg Lowenhagen while he was an employee at the Independent Weekly, a locally owned alternative weekly newspaper and media company. Lowenhagen is the festival's director, and it is now owned by Hopscotch Presents, LLC, a partnership between Travis Janovich, the founder of Etix, and co-owners Paul Laughter and Ben Wingrove. ==Overview== Hopscotch Music Festival features local, national, and international bands in a variety of genres — rock, hip-hop, metal, dance, punk, alt-country, classical, noise, drone, folk and more. More than 130 acts play in multiple venues within a walkable footprint in downtown Raleigh, with artists performing on an outdoor main stage and in many local clubs. Other festival features include: * The Hopscotch Design Festival, launched in 2014, is a 2-day gathering of designers, thinkers, and makers who work across graphic design, architecture, user experience design, technology, food, film, music, and more. * Day parties — Record labels, local promoters, bands, and arts organizations book their own shows that happen throughout the city each afternoon of Hopscotch. * Organized by local poster artists, POSTERscotch is a festival-long poster exhibition and market. The artists sell their work onsite and keep all of the proceeds. * SiteWork is an emerging artist-led cooperative providing exhibition opportunities and facilitating new projects in Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. SiteWork connects disparate ideas and constituencies, forging new physical and conceptual sites for contemporary art in a rapidly changing Southern cultural landscape. SiteWork exhibitions take place throughout Raleigh during the festival. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hopscotch Music Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
