Rock-n-Royal 2025 will be Saturday, September 19, in Downtown Park.

Each year, we invite the community to gather with us for our annual 21+ school year kickoff, celebrating our Hopkins Public Schools community and the start of a new school year.

Tickets included food and drinks from local vendors.

Attendees also enjoy live music, a cornhole tournament, games, and (new last year) a cash bar.

For more information about how to be a part of our 2026 Rock-n-Royal event, contact Jacqui Barnard at 952-988-5223.
