Event Information

This event has expired.

Rockopelli-Music-Fest-rocks-into-Griffith-2019Rockopelli Music Fest will move to Central Park in Griffith on June 15 for its day-long event incorporating local music, art, food and drinks. Rockopelli started eight years ago in Munster and has traveled the region since, making stops at Wicker Park and Main Square in Highland. Joel Ratajack is the founder and chairman of the event.

“Griffith has such a strong community, and we’re excited to be included in that,” said Ratajack.

The event is held to donate to local charities Planting Possibilities and Murph’s Gift of Music. Rockopelli Music Fest is a free event for all ages, but all donations are accepted.

The festival will have performance by musicians from northwest Indiana and Chicago including The Crawpuppies, OHMME, Fay Ray, OBY, Dirtymac and Today’s Trade.

“Central Park is a great location for bands from Northwest Indiana and Chicago to come together,” said Bianca Cordova, director of marketing at Rockopelli.

The move to Griffith will include a new venue, new vendors and new food and drink offerings. Rockopelli Music Fest is a benefit concert in Northwest Indiana that has raised almost $80,000 for local charities since its start in 2011.
