Sponsorship Opportunities
Join Us as a Sponsor for the 97th Celebrate Northeast Parade!
Get ready, it’s time to Celebrate Northeast Minneapolis!
On Tuesday, June 16th, 2026, at 6:30pm, the streets of NE Minneapolis will once again come alive with the energy, creativity, and community spirit that make this neighborhood so special. The Celebrate NE Minneapolis Parade is more than just a summer tradition, it’s a vibrant showcase of the people, businesses, organizations, and local pride that define this incredible community.
This year carries special meaning as we extend our heartfelt thanks to Christine Levens and the Minneapolis Chamber for their dedicated stewardship of this beloved event over the past 20 years. Their commitment has helped shape the parade into the cherished tradition it is today. As we look ahead, the NE Minneapolis Lions Club has stepped forward, alongside many passionate community members, to ensure this celebration continues to thrive for years to come.
Now, it’s your turn to be part of the excitement by becoming one of our amazing sponsors. This is a unique opportunity to showcase your business to more than 5,000 attendees who line the streets to cheer and celebrate. Your involvement helps keep this cherished tradition strong and growing.
The parade is an incredible way to introduce your business and connect with future customers, clients, and supporters. Your sponsorship not only sustains this beloved community event, but also provides your business with valuable exposure and lasting goodwill.
