Upcoming Events
Join us for the annual bike parade and 4th of July celebration at the park on June 28th from 12:00-2:00. Rain date for June 29th.
The parade kicks off at 12:00 at the park, and after the parade all are welcome to eat and hang out with friends and neighbors. We’ll have hotdogs, chips, popcorn, pies and drinks. There will also be goodie bags for the kiddos.
Join in the fun with your child and decorate their bike, wagon or stroller in honor of the 4th of July holiday. Well behaved dogs are also welcome to join in. The road will be blocked off at Hopewell Drive and Boylad, and open again at Illini Drive and Sioux Dr. for the parade.
Even if you don’t wish to participate in the parade itself, please come to cheer everyone on!
Afterwards we will hold a pie eating contest! If you are interested in participating in the contest, email clerk@villageofhopewell.com or communitychair@villageofhopewell.com so we can plan accordingly.
