Hops Fest returns to downtown Hood River on Saturday, running from noon to 8 p.m. in the parking lot at Fifth and Columbia. The event began in 2003, and Hood River County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Mike Glover says in that time it has become the biggest one-day event in the community. He adds this year they are growing from 40 to 50 breweries at Hops Fest, adding a layout change last year to put the brewers tents along the south side of the parking lot helped create more space. A full lineup of music is planned, headlined by Seattle funk band Polyrhythmics. For ticket information go to hoodriver.org.
