Hubbard’s beloved summer tradition is back and better than ever.
The annual Hubbard Hop Festival is set for 11 a.m. Saturday, July 19, at Rivenes Park in Hubbard.
The festival was started in 1974 by volunteer firefighters as a fundraiser for the Hubbard Fire Department. The event has since grown into a major community tradition organized by the Hubbard Hop Festival Association. Proceeds from the festival support a variety of local projects and organizations.
