Longfellow Rising

Longfellow Rising empowers the Downtown Longfellow community through cultural events, advocacy, and neighborhood activation. We unite neighbors, artists, and businesses to shape a vibrant, community-driven future, ensuring local voices are heard.

Nothing says optimism like planning a party before the campaign finish line! Join us for our Summer Social on July 11 from 11 AM to 2 PM at outside at Moon Palace Books and Pangea World Theater. We&#39;re bringing together neighbors, local businesses, artists, community organizations, and everyone who believes in the future of Downtown Longfellow. There will be food, music, activities, and plenty of opportunities to connect with the people helping shape what&#39;s next for our neighborhood. Free and open to all! Come celebrate the progress we&#39;ve made, the work still ahead, and the neighborhood we&#39;re building together.

Longfellow Summer Social

Longfellow Rising is raising funds to continue community-led work in Downtown Longfellow. Since 2020, we&rsquo;ve worked alongside neighbors, artists, small businesses, and local organizations to support cultural events, strengthen community connections, advocate for the neighborhood, and help shape a more community-rooted future for Downtown Longfellow. Now, this work is at risk of slowing down without immediate community support. Your donation helps fund organizing, outreach, neighborhood activation, cultural programming, and the coordination work that keeps these efforts moving forward. Every contribution helps us continue building a Downtown Longfellow shaped by the people who live, work, and create here.
