National Good Neighbor Day was established to reinforce the relationships that form the fabric of our communities. It is a day to highlight and inspire good neighbor activities, simple gatherings to share food, fellowship and fun while re-kindling friendships; meeting current neighbors; welcoming new neighbors;  and promoting conversation around building relationships and activities to meet the needs of people within our neighborhoods.

Bringing neighbors together builds connectedness. And connectedness builds more satisfying, self-sufficient and effective communities that strengthen our nation as a whole.

National Neighborhood Day is celebrated in neighborhoods across the country each year on the third Sunday in September.
