Neighbour Day
Neighbour Day
Neighbour Day is Calgary’s celebration of community spirit and connection. Held each year on the third Saturday in June, Neighbour Day is a step toward creating welcoming and inclusive communities where neighbours connect and belong every day of the year.
Get to know your neighbours! Whether through a friendly chat or a helping hand, small connections build stronger communities and a greater sense of belonging and wellbeing.
Mark your calendar for June 20, 2026 and stay tuned for Neighbour Day 2026!
Neighbour Day 2025
Thank you to everyone who planned a block party, hosted a community event or came out to celebrate! We’re thrilled to see so many Calgarians bringing their neighbourhoods together. See how Calgarians connected through art, culture and community on Neighbour Day.
We had our first neighbour day party last year and it was a huge success! Everyone was thrilled! We recently had a new family move to the street and they said what sold them was when their realtor told them about our great neighbour day party!
