San Francisco’s second-ever
Join us to celebrate
Good Neighbor Week
Sep 26- Oct 4, 2026
We had fun (and learned a lot!) launching this holiday in 2025 and can’t wait to grow it with you in 2026!
- Julia Gitis, SF Good Neighbor Week Founder
Join your neighbors, the City of San Francisco, and hundreds of city-wide and neighborhood partners to celebrate 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 was our first year officially celebrating the holiday in San Francisco.
We organize everything into five tracks: making it official, Good Neighbor Awards, neighborhood events, resources for (aspiring) block leaders, and Technology & Innovation.
Thank you to Mayor Daniel Lurie who proclaimed SF Good Neighbor Week in 2025.
Thank you to Supervisor Myrna Melgar who introduced a Board Resolution on Sep 16, 2025 to declare San Francisco Good Neighbor Week. The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the resolution on Sept 30, 2025.
Stay tuned for official declarations in 2026.
Our inaugural Good Neighbor Awards recognized our San Francisco neighbors who make uncompensated significant contributions to improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods.
The 2026 SF Good Neighbor Award nomination period opens July 2026.
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 2026.
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.
