Welcome to the Longfellow Community Council

A neighborhood organization for Cooper, Hiawatha, Howe & Longfellow.

Neighborhood Activities & Events

Participate in a Committee

Community members meet regularly through LCC committees. Whether you are interested in safety, housing, development, the environment, schools, commercial revitalization or other issues. Our committees are great forums to bring attention to topics that are important to you and work with others on planning efforts and activities.

Longfellow Events

The fun is all around! Celebrate the Mississippi River Gorge with a family-friendly event of canoe rides, ice cream, and nature hikes. Learn new fiber art skills and spend time with other creative community members at Mittenfest. Participate in our annual Community Garage Sale. Learn more about all those events and more!
