Calling all Uptown Businesses!
Get Listed in the 2026 Passport
Eligible businesses for the 2026 Uptown Business Passport are located on Hennepin Ave between Franklin and 38th Street, on Lyndale Ave between Franklin and 38th Street, and on West Lake Street between Nicollet Ave and Market Plaza. You are also welcome to apply if you have “Uptown” in your business name and are located elsewhere. 😉 There is no cost to be included in the passport program.
Over 6,500 passports were distributed in 2025 and we expect that number to double in 2026, especially if additional sponsorship dollars help fund a Digital Passport app for iPhone and Android. Be sure to fill out the form on this page before the deadline on October 15, 2026, to get your business listed in this incredible free promotion vehicle!
Who Organizes Holidays on Hennepin?
The event is being planned by the Hennepin Joint Committee, a group supported by neighborhood associations for Lowry Hill, Lowry Hill East, East Isles, East Bde Maka Ska, and several other local partners. It is funded in part by a grant from the Minneapolis Business District Support Grants program. Learn more about our sponsorship opportunities and how you can get involved in supporting Holidays on Hennepin.
