The Hopkinton Community Summer Band, supported by the Hopkinton Music Association and Hopkinton Parks and Recreation, will be performing their annual concert on the Hopkinton Town Common Sunday, July 22 at 5pm. (In case of rain, we will perform at the same time in the High School auditorium). The group is made up of community members, college, high and middle school students and few people from neighboring towns. The group performs a wide variety of music so there is something for everyone. We hope to see you there.

The concept was first discussed at a meeting of the Community Communications Committee. As they discussed ways to bring the Town together, it became clear a logical starting point might be a calendar where Hopkinton organizations and groups could post their activities, raising awareness and interest from town residents.
