Next Meeting ⭐️ SEPTEMBER 16th ⭐️
Hosted by the East Bank Neighborhoods Partnership (EBNP), our quarterly meetings are a vibrant, inclusive gathering designed to inform, engage, and connect neighbors from the Nicollet Island–East Bank, University, Mid-City Industrial, Marcy-Holmes, and Southeast Como neighborhoods. Whether you're new to the area or a long-term resident, everyone is welcome
Join Us at our Quarterly Meetings!
Open Houses/Forums — We try to switch up our pre-meeting offerings so every meeting feels worth coming out for. In the past year, we have hosted two open houses so you could meet all of the different orgs making an impact in our neighborhoods. For the 2025 Q3 meeting, we will be putting on a renter’s rights forum, gathering representatives from various organizations to answer your burning questions about what it means to be a renter in Minneapolis.
Free Food & Social Hour – If we are hosting a meeting at dinner time, you can always expect to be fed! Our meetings typically have pizza or other refreshments to keep you bright eyed and bushy tailed. We make sure to reserve time for you to eat, chat with neighbors, and connect with local officials/community partners.
Core Meeting – At the end of our time together, join us for formal presentations, receive updates from the EBNP leadership, and engage directly with local officials or project leaders. This is where you can learn about our progress in advocating for the neighborhoods, upcoming events, and how to volunteer your time to make our community a better place for everyone.
What Happens at These Meetings?
Stay Informed: Learn firsthand about neighborhood developments—from safety improvements to public transit enhancements.
Make Connections: Meet your neighbors, community volunteers, and project leaders in a relaxed, friendly setting.
Have Your Say: Share your ideas, ask questions, and help shape the future of our community. Have a ton of burning questions? We want to hear them! If you have more than two, please email us at info@eastbankmpls.org in advance so we can make sure we get you all of the information you need.
Enjoy Community & Culture: Whether you're here for the food, the conversation, or to lend your voice, these gatherings are a great way to feel connected and learn about the community at large.
