The 2026 Jane’s Walk Festival Weekend is May 1, 2, and 3 — online and around the world!
The Jane’s Walk Steering Committee encourages city organizers to make decisions about their local festivals that prioritize the health, safety, and well-being of their communities. We believe it is most important that you seek and follow the guidance of the local public health authorities where you live, regarding current COVID-19 measures.
Jane’s Walk is an annual festival of free, community-led walking conversations inspired by Jane Jacobs.
On the first weekend of May every year, Jane’s Walk festivals take place in hundreds of cities around the world.
Jane’s Walks encourage people to share stories about their neighbourhoods, discover unseen aspects of their communities, and use walking as a way to connect with their neighbours.
Get Involved in Jane’s Walk!
Jane’s Walks are supported, organized, and led by volunteers around the world.
