Great things happen when neighbours find ways to meet!

Festival of Neighbourhoods has been a tradition in the City of Kitchener since 1994. Neighbourhoods are invited to register their events and activities that occur during the Festival Season, which runs from March 28-October 1, 2007. The season culminates in a Festival Finale on October 26, 2008 in which all the different neighbours gather to celebrate their successes and the larger community.

The Festival of Neighbourhoods works with a number of community partners in order to recognize various types of neighbourhood participation and success. We present various awards at annual Festival Finale, and we distribute Good Neighbour Hampers to every participating neighbourhood. One of the most anticipated awards is the annual $10,000 Capital Improvement Grant from the City of Kitchener, which is given to one participating neighbourhood selected through a random draw.
