Hopkins Summerfest has evolved out of the Hopkins tradition, Music in the Park, into a 10-week event that offers something for everyone. On select nights, a movie will be shown after the concert. In addition to evening entertainment, stop by the park over lunchtime for free fitness classes every week including yoga, tai chi and more.
This special community event brings residents and visitors from throughout the metro area to enjoy music and more in our beautiful Downtown Park.
Hopkins Summerfest events are free, compliments of area businesses and organizations. Bring lawn chairs or a blanket—refreshments always available.
