Hopscotch Design Fest is the newest part of Raleigh's Hopscotch Music Fest.

This year marks the fifth anniversary of Raleigh’s Hopscotch Music Festival and the event is bigger than ever.

For the first time, the festival will host a showcase at the City Plaza. And this year’s line-up expands beyond music with the Hopscotch Design Fest featuring people who are “designing the future.” Host Frank Stasio talks with Greg Lowenhagen , Hopscotch Music Festival’s director and Matt Munoz, Hopscotch Design Festival coordinator and chief design officer for New Kind, a Raleigh branding and strategy firm.
