Hopkins Raspberry Festival
Mark your calendars now, so you too can take part in a most fun, meaningful, and fantastic summer weekend right here in our local community!
St David’s is now registered to take part in the 2024 Hopkins Raspberry Festival! You have the opportunity to participate in an old-fashioned Grande Day Parade complete with floats and marching bands traveling down Mainstreet in Hopkins on July 21.
If you prefer, you can also participate by assisting in the “St David’s Booth” where we will set up a table offering up rest, refreshment, and renewal at the Mainstreet Marketplace Festival on July 20.
These two opportunities offer St. David’s a chance to step out of our boat and venture into the waters to play, faithfully living into both our mission and vision statements by actively engaging with our community.
Keep your eye out for more information and ways you can get involved (coming your way soon!) All ages are welcomed and encouraged to participate.
Regards,
Diane Curley, Senior Warden
