Supporting the arts and cultural organizations that are shaping the future of East Lake Street
Mayday Ceremony and Festival is a participant in the 2025 Festival Producer Incubator. Lake Street Lift and The Great Northern have partnered to support East Lake Street organizations, artists, and cultural leaders through the Festival Producer Incubator, as part of our shared commitment to community. This program provides grants and mentorship to local festival organizers, delivering financial and operational resources for six Lake Street festivals taking place from May to July 2026.
This investment fosters a stronger, more connected Lake Street. We’re proud to support participating organizations as they bring the community together through meaningful programming and public celebrations.
Lake Street Lift projects were made possible by funding from DEED and the City of Minneapolis
