Rock the Hill

Some things are distinctly Alaskan: wedding gowns with Xtratuffs, midnight hikes, and a “backyard” that’s nearly half a million acres. 

Rock the Hill is more than a music festival; it’s a celebration of the art, culture, and outdoor adventures that make Anchorage unique. Back for a second year after selling out last summer, Rock the Hill expands to two days of live music, local craft food & beer, vendors, art, workshops, and the wilderness oasis of Hilltop. Dance up front, cruise down on your mountain bike, or practice yoga on the slopes. With this Alaska-grown festival lineup, you’ll experience sights and sounds as diverse and dynamic as the surrounding Chugach mountains. 

Join friends and neighbors for Rock the Hill and feel your heart swell with pride for our city’s vibrant people, places, and purpose.
