MOUNT LOOKOUT COMMUNITY COUNCIL

The MLCC is an all-volunteer organization that informs, serves, and advocates for the residents and businesses of Mt. Lookout, Cincinnati. Founded in 1906, it is the oldest continually operated civic organization in the State of Ohio. 

48th Annual Luminaria Event is Coming Soon, Sponsored by the Mt. Lookout Community Council

Organized by the MLCC and Mt. Lookout Business Association, Luminaria is an annual holiday tradition enjoyed by all in our community. On Light Up Night, residents and businesses throughout the community line our streets and sidewalks with inviting luminaries to light up the night and celebrate the season!

Luminaria is Your community council’s ONLY fundraiser!  The Mt. Lookout Community Council is a non-profit organization. Proceeds from Luminaria kit sales are directly reinvested into your neighborhood, including beautification and maintenance of Mt. Lookout Square, including landscaping, seasonal flower pots, and holiday lights, as well as the Mt. Lookout Fall Festival, Ault Park Fireworks and more. Additionally, the MLCC serves as your liaison between Mt. Lookout and City Hall, so having a strong community is key to making our voices heard.

Light Up Night Family Activities

Trolley Rides, Cookies and Cocoa

Join us from 6:00pm to 8:00pm for cookies, snacks and hot chocolate in the Square! All food will be available for self-serve. After you’ve had your fill, step onto an old-fashioned trolley and enjoy the holiday lights. Thank you to Rohde Funeral Home for allowing us to use their front lot.
