Rockopelli is a benefit music festival in Griffith, IN that creates a culture of philanthropy through music in Northwest Indiana. As our 10th annual festival, the event will be two days of music from a diverse lineup of bands & artists, food from local vendors, beer garden, art & merchant vendors, silent auction, raffles, tethered hot air balloon rides, and more. Musical acts include local bands such as The Kinsey Report, as well as nationally touring artists such as Start Making Sense (Talking Heads Tribute).

We will ask for a $5 suggested donation at the door. All ages are welcome. In addition to employing bands and artists to perform, the festival is a community event that provides a platform for local charities to spread awareness about their missions. Rockopelli provides an annual donation to local nonprofits including Planting Possibilities (who teach horticultural job skills to adults with intellectual disabilities) and Murph’s Gift of Music (who fund musical instruments & lessons to families with limited financial resources). Rockopelli has donated over $85,000 to local charities and students since 2012. Rockopelli also launched a new project called PelliPlay that funds music lessons for the youth of Northwest Indiana through scholarships.

Sponsorship opportunities are available to align your brand with Rockopelli's online, onsite and promotional assets. Business sponsors will be featured on festival signage, on our website at www.rockopellifest.org, on our social media platforms (Rockopelli will pay for targeted ads), and at the conclusion of our 2021 recap video. Individual/family donors will be featured on our donor board at the festival.
