The organizers of the Rockopelli Music Festival embody this ethos. For fourteen years, Rockopelli has brought together artists, activists, and musicians to support the Northwest Indiana community, channeling proceeds from the annual event into scholarships and local charities. Since its start in 2012, the festival has raised over $100,000 for student scholarships while donating to various local causes. This year’s charity event, held at Crown Point’s Bulldog Park, featured four diverse bands united by the same spirit of community.
