With production crews breaking ground July 16, the Hoochenanny Whiskey & Music Festival is just weeks away from transforming 14 waterfront acres at Camp Eastman into a two-stage, six-tent playground of spirits, songs and small-town charm. Festival hours are Friday 2-10 p.m., Saturday noon-10 p.m. and Sunday 2-10 p.m.

Lou Gramm, the original voice of Foreigner, 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and Rochester native, will make a special guest appearance at this summer’s Hoochenanny Whiskey & Music Festival on Saturday, August 9.

From basement beginnings to backyard blowouts, these hometown heroes will bring fresh energy to the stages alongside an eclectic mix of national headliners.
