About Neighbours Day

Neighbours Day is a city-wide porch party! Local musicians will lend their unique talents by staging pop-up concerts in neighbourhoods all over Kitchener.

From porches to driveways to front lawns, you’re invited to join in the fun by bringing your lawn chair to enjoy some live entertainment in celebration of Neighbours Day.

This is a free event, and no registration is required.
