Northside Rock and Roll Carnival

Ring in the Fourth of July weekend with this two-day music festival celebrating 20 years of community tradition. The festivities kick off Friday afternoon and continue through Saturday, picking up momentum after the beloved Northside Fourth of July Parade wraps up. At Hoffner Park, you'll find live performances from dozens of local bands throughout both days, creating a rock-and-roll atmosphere that welcomes the whole family. Beyond the music, there's plenty to explore: local artists and makers set up throughout the park, food vendors offer a variety of options, and MadTree Brewing provides both alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages. Admission is completely free, though you'll pay separately for food, drinks, and any merchandise you'd like to take home. Whether you join in on Friday evening or stay for Saturday's full day of entertainment following the parade, it's a great way to celebrate Independence Day with your neighbors while enjoying live music in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.
