Which brings us to The Hop Jam, Hanson’s craft beer and music festival, now in its fourth year. With a comprehensive array of international beer vendors and a music lineup, including John Fullbright and Mayer Hawthorne (and, this year, headlined by Hanson), the festival aims to breathe new life into an already-storied area of Tulsa.
“For the last 10 years, we’ve been set up on Main Street. This area is really a music hub in Tulsa, with the heritage of Cain’s Ballroom, the Brady Theater,” Taylor Hanson said. “Building on all those things, what better place to host our festival than the neighborhood where it all started?”
That’s an excerpt from Becky Carman’s excellent Hop Jam preview. The festival is quickly becoming one of my favorite events in Oklahoma, and I jumped at the opportunity to cover it again this year.
Take a look at all my photos here. Also, try not getting feelings watching this video.
