"A Tradition Preserved"

July 11th - 19th, 2009

The Hopkins Raspberry Festival will be celebrating it's 75th Annual festival this year! Join us in Hopkins to celebrate! Please check back often as July approaches for details as we finalize plans.

Family Day Expanded This Year

In an effort to provide more activites for kids and families during the Raspberry Festival, we have added events on Saturday, July 18th, known as Family Day. All the usual activities will be taking place on and around Mainstreet from 8:00am - 4:00pm. Starting at 3:00pm, there will be kids activities in Central Park right-up until the fireworks at dusk. The events will then shift back to Mainstreet for the Jaycees Street Dance.

The events will be kicked-off with the Kiddie Parade, then activies such as crafts, games, inflatable slides and musical acts performing up until the fireworks begin. We hope this will provide all families a fun afternoon at the 75th annual Hopkins celebration and grow in the years to come. more info
