The tradition of the Hopkins Raspberry Festival culminates with the Grande Day Parade on Mainstreet. The parade features marching bands, visiting royalty from around the state, local businesses and clubs, and local officials. The parade begins promptly at 1:00 pm with a flyover. The parade route begins at 5th Avenue and Mainstreet and moves west to 17th Avenue and Mainstreet. Come cheer on your friends and neighbors and help celebrate this annual event in Hopkins!

Look for the Blizzard-mobile in the parade and cheer on your favorite ski and snowboard school! Let us know if you’d like to march in the parade with us.  We’d love to have you!
