A simple gesture to promote conviviality and strengthen social ties, fostering neighbourly solidarity. Organise it too on Friday, 29 May 2026.
Neighbours’ Day is an annual international initiative that promotes solidarity among neighbours, combats social isolation, and strengthens cohesion within communities.
Created in Paris in 1999, Neighbours’ Day quickly spread to many cities around the world, reaching Lugano as well, where over the years it has brought life to neighbourhoods, streets, and buildings through moments of meeting and sharing.
The invitation is addressed to the entire population — the true protagonists of this initiative — to rediscover neighbourly ties by organising simple social gatherings together with their neighbours in buildings, streets, or neighbourhoods.
The 2026 edition in Lugano will take place on Friday, 29 May. This year as well, the City is collaborating with the Municipality of Massagno.
