MANY THANKS

Thank you to the City of Lake Elmo and Mayor Cadenhead, the Lake Elmo Fire Department, and the Washington County Sheriff's Department for your partnership to organize a safe, meaningful event for the community. A special thanks goes out to all of the businesses and organizations that come together to provide financial support, space, and talent to host this annual tradition. Lastly, we are grateful for all of our volunteers who share their time to make this event run smoothly.

*A note about Sponsorships

In years past, Connect Lake Elmo has collected event-based donations to fund Light Up Lake Elmo and the 4th of July festivities. These donations also covered our website fees and general operational costs (tents, decor, storage). We are 100% volunteer-based, and with a growing community and interest in community events/support, we need to grow with that demand!

Starting in 2026, we will launch an annual membership model to provide Lake Elmo-based businesses, non-profit organizations, and community members the opportunity to support our signature community-wide events, the calendar of events, business listings, Community Spotlights/stories, and social media promotion. This year, we are grateful to the businesses and organizations that went above and beyond to not only commit to the new membership model but also provided support to host this year's Light Up Lake Elmo event. Thank you!
