COLUMBUS, Ind. - Hutchfest 2026 is being stormed by a British Invasion. The annual fundraiser is at The Crump Theatre on Saturday, April 25, featuring The Revelators and The Rigbys.

The bands will bring the energy, fun, and excitement of the British invasion from the 1960s to life. Dress up in your favorite 60s British fashion, or snag a Hutchfest t-shirt to rock out in.

Food trucks will be on-site in the parking lot adjacent to the building before and during the show. Drinks can be purchased inside at the limited bar on the main floor or at the full bar on the second floor, with Hutch.

The party actually starts downtown on Friday night, April 24, at four local bars, all of which have no cover. Participating venues include 4th Street, The Garage, Eagles #741, and the Moose Lodge.

Each year, the two-day Hutchfest celebrates local culture and community leader Hutch Schumaker and raises money for local non-profits, specifically the Crump Theatre.   

This is a 21+ event, and just like a real mop-top show, tickets will sell quickly for the Saturday night Hutchfest event. You can get more information and buy $10 tickets here.
