From Our Sponsors

Why they keep coming back.

"There is no other event in Minnesota where we can reach this many engaged Somali-Minnesotan consumers in a single weekend. Our Lake Street activation drove the highest brand-lift of any event we ran in 2025."
SK
Sara Kim
Director of Community, Target Foundation
"Sponsoring Somali Week is the most meaningful work we do all year. It's a partnership built on trust, hospitality, and a shared vision of what Minnesota can be."
JM
James Mwangi
VP of Community Affairs, UCare
"The organizers run the most professional event we sponsor — and the warmest. Every dollar we put in came back tenfold in goodwill, customer acquisition, and lasting partnership."
AM
Aisha Mohamed
Head of Brand, Allianz Life
"The talent on those stages, the warmth of every interaction, the way the whole city shows up — there is nothing like Somali Week. Best ROI in our local marketing budget."
