Hop Riot Beer Festival Tickets

Hop Riot Beer Festival is more than a festival—it's a local music showcase that pairs live performances with local craft beer vibes. Originating in 2016 in Wenonah Park, Bay City, MI, the event is organized by the historically significant State Theatre, which reopened in 2024 after a period of bankruptcy. The festival brings together regional acts for an afternoon and evening of music along the Saginaw River, right in downtown Bay City.

With a focus on engaging, crowd-friendly performances, Hop Riot has featured notable acts like Jedi Mind Trip and Lightnin’ Licks Vinyl Preservation Society in its early editions and has continued to celebrate local talent through 2018, 2022, and beyond. The 2022 edition was described as the 6th annual Hop Riot Beer Festival, offering VIP and GA options for attendees. The 2025 edition is planned for October 4, 2025, with a Lumberjack theme at Wenonah Park, inviting fans to enjoy music, beer, and community spirit in a picturesque riverfront setting.
