Cambridge Seeking Residents to Host Events for Meet Your Neighbor Day

Cambridge residents and community members are once again encouraged to bring their neighbors together for Meet Your Neighbor Day. Residents and community members can organize an event anytime between September 14 and 22, though Sunday, September 15 is the official event day. Please submit your Meet Your Neighbor Event Submission Form by Wednesday, September 11 if possible so that the Peace Commission can include it in the list.

Convened by the Cambridge Peace Commission and co-sponsored by the Citizens' Committee on Civic Unity, this community-based initiative is designed to build connections in our amazing city by bringing together long-time residents, newcomers, and everyone in between. The City will help provide resources and promote the various events taking place around Cambridge.

Did you know that the City of Cambridge offers $300 awards and free Play Streets kits to support neighborhood block parties?

To make this year’s initiative even bigger and better, the Peace Commission is are seeking additional organizers to plan events (e.g. cookout, block party, service project, etc.) that can bring together neighbors — in a way that works for them!

Following the early September submission form deadline, the City will feature all of the Meet Your Neighbor Day events on the Peace Commission's Meet Your Neighbor webpage.

If community members have questions, please email peace@cambridgema.gov or visit the Meet Your Neighbor Day fact sheet and frequently asked questions for inspiration and ideas.
