The New Hope Cinema Grill lets residents and homeowners enjoy watching a movie while having a meal and drinks with friends. The local Top Hat theatre makes it so that you don’t have to drive downtown to catch a live theatre show. Doyle’s Bowling Longue gives residents a bowling alley with friendly faces and beer on tap.

New Hope Community Events

One of the best reasons to buy a home in New Hope is its small town charm. Unlike larger suburbs that claim a sense of community and charm, New Hope really exemplifies it by being able to bring its residents together over its five square miles. Through festivals and park events and crafts and more, New Hope brings out a sense of community friendliness and welcoming that other Minnesota towns lack. Here’s a snapshot of some of those events that bring the community together:

Duk Duk Daze is New Hope’s big annual community celebration, typically held in the middle of July. This festival hosts a variety of fun events for the whole family, with a gigantic fireworks display, carnival rides and games, live music, parades, beer tents, sports tournaments, food, and much more!
On Saturdays during the summer and fall, the New Hope Community Farmers Market offers fresh, local, organic produce bringing the city together.
Occasionally throughout the year, New Hope will host the Bike Rodeo, a great family event. Bike riders challenge themselves with obstacle courses and kids learn bike safety. There’s food, refreshments, prizes, and more.

These three events are just a small sample – there are other events from a huge host of recreational events to car fairs and parades and much more. For more information on these and other events, visit New Hope’s community calendar online at http://www.ci.new-hope.mn.us/eservices/calendar.shtml.
