The Cost of Cool
About this episode
The episode discusses the complexities involved in organizing the Hopscotch music festival in Raleigh and the community's role in its success.
Hopscotch is back—but its return isn’t automatic. As festivals across the country scale up, sell out or disappear entirely, keeping one rooted in Raleigh takes coordination, investment and buy-in from the entire city. From venue logistics to funding to audience support, we break down what it really takes to keep a music festival like Hopscotch here—and why that’s not something to take for granted.
