The Friends of Hopkinton’s goal is to provide community activities that encourage and support town spirit, enthusiasm, and pride.


The Friends of Hopkinton, Inc. originally started with seed money from the 275th Town Anniversary; under the name of the Civic Activity Committee. We had Family Days in the 1980’s. In 2013 the Friends of Hopkinton Anniversary Celebrations, Inc. formed. We managed the 300th Anniversary Parade.

We raised funds through bottle collection, merchandise sales, Marathon spaghetti dinners, swing dances, historic house tours, and family ham and bean supper. The Friends financed 6 of the 8 professional groups in the parade. We utilized the Historic Train Station. We will give seed money forward to the Town for the future 325th Town Anniversary

The present Friends of Hopkinton sponsors two events Family Day in September and Family Fling in March.
