Who’s behind it
Organized by neighbors.
Holidays on Hennepin is a project of the Hennepin Joint Committee, a non-profit, volunteer-run committee of Hennepin-area residents, neighborhood associations and local businesses. It is supported by the neighborhood associations for Lowry Hill, Lowry Hill East, East Isles, East Bde Maka Ska and other local partners, and funded in part by a grant from the Minneapolis Business District Support Grants program.
