Hop Stop 2026

Riverside's Tradition - Hop Stop is back in another undefeated collaboration between Riverside Foods and the Olmsted Society of Riverside. This year our theme "A Picnic in the Park" encourages you to bring a blanket or your favorite lawn chair and plan to enjoy friends, music and of course some of the finest brews in all Chicagoland.  Our Fall craft beer festival will feature some of the top breweries from the area with select pours planned to make this year's event a memorable afternoon.  

As always, access to this family friendly event is made easy through the Riverside Train Station. Use of the free bicycle valet, bring a designated driver, or take the Metra, which drops you right outside. There will be local food vendors, art activities for children (under 12 are admitted free with ticket), and live music to round out a wonderful outdoor family friendly setting in the arboretum Village of Riverside.

This is a not for profit event that supports the beautification of our village, the quality of our air, and a positive influence on climate change. In other words, your proceeds will support the Riverside Olmsted Society 501(c)3.
