San Francisco’s inaugural
Join us to celebrate
Good Neighbor Week
Sep 27- Oct 5, 2025
Join your neighbors, the City of San Francisco, and many founding partners to celebrate the very first San Francisco Good Neighbor Week across our city’s wonderful neighborhoods. This holiday celebrates everyday residents who bring connection, kindness and community to San Francisco.
September 28 is National Good Neighbor Day. President Jimmy Carter first proclaimed the day in 1978. Cities and states across the USA celebrate National Good Neighbor Day. 2025 will be the first year officially celebrating the holiday in San Francisco.
We organized everything into five tracks: making it official, Good Neighbor Awards, neighborhood events, resources for (aspiring) block leaders, and Technology & Innovation.
Let’s celebrate San Francisco’s proclamation to make San Francisco Good Neighbor Week an official annual event in San Francisco. Thank you to Supervisor Myrna Melgar, who on Sept 16, 2025, introduced a Board Resolution to make San Francisco Good Neighbor Week an official holiday. The Board will vote on the resolution on Sept 30, 2025.
Our inaugural Good Neighbor Awards recognize our San Francisco neighbors who make uncompensated significant contributions to improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods.
2025 nominations are now closed!
Winners will be announced soon
Events will be held across many San Francisco neighborhoods. Join a volunteer event, a potluck dinner, go on a photo walk in your neighborhood, join a discussion group, and connect with local merchants. Full schedule available in late summer 2025.
San Francisco has many vibrant neighborhoods with active neighborhood groups. There are also thousands of residents who don’t know their neighbors. Do you wish you knew more of your actual neighbors, but not sure how to get started? We’re compiling resources for individuals who want to step up and be block leaders in their neighborhoods.
Interested in tech projects that support strong communities in San Francisco? We’re the first city in the country to have a Technology & Innovation track at our Good Neighbor Week.
