Last call to host a Neighbours Day concert

Neighbours Day is an annual community celebration presented by the City of Kitchener every June. It is a day dedicated to building community pride and neighbourhood spirit through live music, summer fun, and social activities in neighbourhoods across the city. It offers an opportunity to connect with people in your neighbourhood and celebrate the vibrant and diverse city we live in. This year, Neighbours Day will be held on Saturday, June 17 from 1 to 5 p.m.

Kitchener residents are invited to sign up to host a free afternoon concert on their porch, driveway or front lawn to enjoy with their friends and neighbours. Neighbours Day organizers will assign musicians to the concert locations and each concert will be approximately one hour long, starting at either 1 p.m. or 4 p.m. You provide the venue the city supplies the musician! It’s that easy! The city will also provide you with postcards and lawn signs to help you promote the concert to your neighbours.

Check out this video from last year to see what Neighbours Day is all about.
