One of the longest-running and largest festivals in Minnesota

Hopkins is the proud home of the annual Raspberry Festival, which has become a Twin Cities tradition. The first festival was organized in 1934 during the Depression by a group of community business people who were concerned that the Hopkins economy and community needed a boost.

The festival features its own royalty, a search for the Golden Raspberry, a Grande Day Parade, a Family Day and more. The 2008 Raspberry Festival was held on July 15-20 and was the 74th year of the festival.

Think Hopkins is a joint marketing project sponsored by the City of Hopkins and the Hopkins Business & Civic Association.
