If you know us, you know
how much we love a good rock show
(and if you don’t… well, we love a good rock show).
HOPE RockFest is all about amplifying independent music. We set the stage, then turn it over to the best local talent in the Ottawa music scene. Food and drinks, songs to sing, even an audience vote for who you want to see perform at HOPE Volleyball SummerFest the following year!
Do you perform?
We’re currently searching for electrifying up-and-coming artists to play our 2nd Annual HOPE RockFest!
The selected acts will have the opportunity to open
