UNC grad behind the Raleigh Hopscotch festival

Posted Sep 8, 2015
Hopscotch Music Festival attracts 20,000 people nationwide to Raleigh, features more than 140 bands and is essentially run by two-and-a-half people. The chief of that small crew is the director, founder and UNC graduate Greg Lowenhagen. “We haven’t had the luxury of pumping a couple extra hundreds of thousands of dollars into staff,” he said. “We basically do this on a shoestring.” (Daily Tar Heel)
