After the Early Bird period, the regular price will be $24.00.

💬 A Little Transparency From Us:
We know you may notice a small increase in pricing compared to some of our previous events. As we continue planning and improving our social functions, costs associated with food, supplies, entertainment, decorations, and overall event operations have increased. We want to make sure we can continue providing enjoyable, quality experiences while being responsible with Town resources.

But here's the good news… YOU CAN SAVE 50% RIGHT NOW! 🎉

For just $12 for Hope Mills Residents or $14 for Non-Residents, you're getting much more than a meal. You're getting an opportunity to:

🍽️ Enjoy a Thanksgiving meal with your 55+ community
🎶 Enjoy a fun and festive atmosphere
🤝 Connect with friends and meet new ones
❤️ Celebrate everything we have to be thankful for
🎉 Make memories with your Hope Mills Parks & Recreation family

And let's be honest… $12–$14 for an afternoon of food, fellowship, fun, and Thanksgiving spirit is hard to beat! 😋🦃

⏰ DON'T WAIT!

Our 50% Early Bird Special ends September 30, 2026. Once the Early Bird period ends, regular pricing will apply.

Grab your ticket, invite a friend, and come celebrate Thanksgiving with us!

TOWN OF HOPE MILLS 9/11 TRIBUTE CEREMONY

The Town of Hope Mills invites our community to join us as we come together to remember, reflect, and pay tribute to the lives lost and the heroes who answered the call on September 11, 2001.

This year marks 25 years since the tragic events of 9/11, a day that forever changed our nation. While we remember the thousands of innocent lives lost, we also honor the extraordinary courage of our first responders, members of our Armed Forces, and everyday Americans whose acts of bravery, compassion, and sacrifice demonstrated the strength and resilience of our nation.

Friday, September 11, 2026
John W. Hodges Public Safety Center Monument Garden
8:30AM

We encourage our citizens, veterans, first responders, community organizations, and families to join us for this solemn occasion as Hope Mills stands together in remembrance.

25 years later, we still remember. We still honor. We will NEVER FORGET.

Take a look at our September Event Calendar and mark your calendars for the events coming your way. We’re looking forward to getting out, connecting with our community, and seeing some familiar faces along the way.
