Raspberry Festival Buttons | Traditional & Virtual! |
 |
|||
| The festival is working on a shoestring budget this year, so please consider purchasing a $5 button to support our community event! Buttons will be available at locations around Hopkins, and a list can be found here.
This year we are also introducing a “virtual button” option, if wearing a pin isn’t your thing. In exchange for the same $5 contribution, you can download an image of the button to use as a phone lock screen or wallpaper. Just another way to connect with and support the Hopkins Raspberry Festival! Details to come |

Come cruise and be a part of this storied tradition! | Tune in at 10:00pm for an online fireworks show! A montage of fireworks set to music will be streamed. Just as if you were in Central Park – minus the mosquitos. | |
