Neighbour Day is a heartwarming annual celebration dedicated to bringing neighbours together and fostering a stronger sense of community. This event encourages local residents to connect through pop-up picnics held in parks and reserves throughout Prospect during March 2026. Whether you’re hosting a simple BBQ or sharing a cup of tea, the focus is on inclusivity, kindness, and building lasting friendships.
The day is designed to tackle loneliness and social isolation by creating opportunities for meaningful interactions among neighbours. It’s a chance to strengthen bonds, build support networks, and enjoy the vibrant spirit of your local area.
Expect a welcoming atmosphere where everyone is encouraged to participate, have fun, and contribute to a safer, more connected neighbourhood.
Neighbour Day will be celebrated on the last Sunday of March 2026, with pop-up picnics organized by local Ward Champions who partner with residents to plan the perfect community gathering. Activities are flexible and can range from casual get-togethers to larger street parties.
Key reminders for participants include:
- Small gestures can make a big impact in building connections.
- Inclusivity is essential; all neighbours should feel welcome.
- Embrace the fun and enjoy the opportunity to meet new friends.
Volunteering opportunities are available for those passionate about community building, offering a chance to contribute skills and time to make a real difference.
Events will take place at various local parks and reserves across the City of Prospect. Exact locations depend on the pop-up picnic organizers and Ward Champions involved.
These accessible outdoor venues provide a relaxed setting for families and neighbours to gather safely and comfortably. Public transport and parking options are available near most parks.
For specific event locations or to get involved in hosting, contact the City of Prospect Community Programs and Activation Officer.
Neighbour Day is about celebrating community every day, not just once a year. The City of Prospect encourages ongoing neighbourly connections beyond the event.
Participants should consider COVID-19 safety guidelines and respect local park rules during gatherings.
The City of Prospect acknowledges the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of the land and encourages respect for their cultural heritage during all community events.
Neighbour Day activities are free to attend and open to all residents of Prospect and surrounding areas. No formal booking is required for general participation in pop-up picnics.
Those interested in volunteering or hosting a picnic can register their interest through the City of Prospect’s community programs.
