HOPKINS, Minn. — It's become an annual tradition for the holiday shopping season, putting a focus on America's small business owners with Small Business Saturday.
Hopkins has been marking the occasion for the past 15 years with Holiday in Hopkins on Mainstreet, with a celebration designed to bring the whole community together.
This year, Mainstreet will be closed to traffic during the festivities between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Activities include a photo booth, gingerbread house decorating, face painting, ornament making, and of course, a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus. Guests will be encouraged to stop by Mainstreet businesses and food trucks, and take in the city's annual tree lighting in the park.
Find more information and a complete schedule of activities on the Think Hopkins website.
