Who we are.

Rock the Hops is Alton’s original music and art festival, and the first and only event in our region to combine and highlight several channels of creative culture into one self-guided multi-venue celebration. The event is designed to bring awareness to, and heighten engagement with, the burgeoning art and music community in our region, while also showcasing our area’s beverage and culinary scene.

Our mission.

Uplift, engage, and encourage our local creative culture and safeguard it for future generations, and to help music, art, and culture become active and honored participants in our community.
