People in neighborhoods all across America realize the value of simple gatherings, sharing food and fun, while discovering the diversity that makes America great. If you and your neighbors wish to hold an event in your neighborhood but need assistance with ideas and helpful resources to help you plan it, then, learn how other neighborhoods across America are joining together and participating in National Neighborhood Day.
What is National Neighborhood Day (NND)?
National Neighborhood Day takes place annually, the third Sunday in September. NND was created to "inspire, build, and sustain the neighborhood relationships that provide the foundation for civic action and the building of stronger, more caring and effective communities."
A single day to serve as a rallying point - an easy reminder to annually "refresh" neighborhood connections – that is why the third Sunday in September works well with NND partners' annual calendars and fits with most school schedules. And the weather is usually nice!
Orange County and the City of Orlando have joined efforts since 2006 to locally recognize National Neighborhood Day and to jointly encourage residents to participate and celebrate National Neighborhood Day a wonderful opportunity for residents to come together.
