Jane’s Walk is an annual festival of free, community-led walking conversations inspired by Jane Jacobs.

Jane’s Walk takes place in many cities around the world. Everyone is welcome to join in a free walk exploring the history and stories that shape our everyday urban experience. Through the simple act of walking together and discussing what makes a neighbourhood, Jane’s Walk helps knit people together into strong and resourceful communities.

Held annually on the first weekend of May, the event was created in 2007 in Toronto by friends of the urban thinker Jane Jacobs and Lethbridge has participated since 2011.



Jane's Walk 2024 will take place May 3-4-5. Mark your calendars!
