Coming to a lemonade stand near you!

When we found out Blaine was selling lemonade and donating 100% of the proceeds he made to St. Jude, we knew we needed to stop by. According to his mom, Blaine was able to donate $300 for cancer research.

An unverified flyer is making its way around local community groups containing false information regarding this year’s Hoptown HoseDown events. See below for more details.

☀️ Summer in Hopkinsville is full of opportunities to get out, get involved, and enjoy our community!

As we continue to evaluate and improve our programs and events, we've made a few changes to this year's lineup. While Hoptown Hose Down and Movies in the Park will not be held this year, there are still plenty of exciting activities, events, festivals, programs, and community gatherings happening throughout the city.

From live entertainment and local attractions to recreational activities and special events, there's something for everyone to enjoy this summer.

We encourage you to explore everything Hopkinsville has to offer by visiting www.hoptown.org and following the City of Hopkinsville and Hopkinsville Parks and Recreation on social media for the latest updates.

We look forward to seeing you out and about enjoying all that makes Hopkinsville a great place to live, work, and play!

Hey, so...
It’s looking like a great weekend to BBQ.
With that being said…

Before calling 911 about smoke in your neighbor's backyard...

Ask yourself:
Is their smoker smoking?

There's a decent chance they're just really committed to smoked brisket 😎

Have a great (and safe) weekend!
