Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a photo of the day.

MetroWest’s historic folk scene comes alive again this August with a festival that’s one of a kind. On Aug. 17, Touchable Stories will be sponsoring a free revival folk festival in Hopkinton honoring the Old Vienna Kaffeehaus. Billed as a “nostalgic journey” through the venue’s history, the event will feature more than a dozen artists and special guests.

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation announced that the Interstate 495 southbound on-ramp (Exit 106) in Hopkinton from I-90 eastbound and westbound will be closed during overnight hours from Tuesday, July 30, through the morning of Friday, Aug. 2. The closures will be in effect each night from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. to accommodate construction operations.

Hopkinton’s Department of Public Works will host a household hazardous waste collection this Saturday, Aug. 3, from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. It will be held at the DPW facility at 83 Wood Street.

This week’s Real Estate Transactions list shows 10 sales, six of which were for more than $1 million.

Town meetings tonight include the Board of Assessors (6) and Conservation Commission (7).
