New Raleigh’s Hopscotch 2012 Coverage

September, 04, 2012 , by Jedidiah

Hopscotch Music Festival Week 2012 is upon us. Starting at noon on Thursday, there will be bands and music galore on almost every street corner in Downtown Raleigh. Over the next few days, we will be reposting some of the articles focusing on the events of Hopscotch 2012, including Day Parties, Night Schedule, the Edward McKay Cultural Series, Hopscotch Hepcat Bike Race, PosterSCOTCH and most importantly the New Raleigh and Friends Hopscotch 2012 Recommendations. These recommendations may come in several posts to eliminate the overwhelming nature of past years.

We love the fact that so many local music lovers, musicians, business owners and city dwellers have shared their recommendations with us and us with you. We hope this helps you navigate the weekend with as much ease as possible. If the past two years are anything to go on, Hopscotch weekend is going to be an exhausting blast.

Until the rest of our coverage comes, take a listen to the Spotify Hopscotch Playlist that we compiled earlier in the year to help you learn as much as you can about all of the bands that are playing in Downtown Raleigh this weekend.
