Celebrate National Neighborhood Day
The city of Las Vegas is calling on residents to mark National Neighborhood Day. This is a nationwide effort that received the commitment of the U.S. Conference of Mayors to build and sustain neighborhood relationships to create stronger, more caring and effective communities. Block parties, cleanups, barbecues and community projects are some of the ways residents can celebrate where they live and get to know their neighbors. Getting together with neighbors strengthens communities through improved communication, safety and quality of life.
The city is partnering with residents throughout the community on a number of different events to bring neighborhoods closer together including:
