What we’ll cover:

Holidays on Hennepin is back for 2026. This year will build on our inaugural business passport program in 2025 and run from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day. It's designed to drive foot traffic to your business through a print business passport stamp collection program, a community calendar, holiday decorations support, and so much more.

A NEW Summer 2026 campaign. We're also announcing a new, closely-aligned campaign created by our friends at the Uptown Farmers Market: #ThursdaysAreForUptown, running August through September.

Can't make it in person? That's okay! The presentation will be recorded, and we'll send follow-up materials. Fill out the RSVP form to receive the recap information promptly.

We're building community engagement initiatives to support Uptown as THE Minneapolis destination for shopping, dining, neighbor support, holistic healing, niche hobbies, and (always) meaningful gathering with friends and loved ones. We hope you will join us.
