Jane’s Walk Newport for all
May 3 + 4 ,2025
Jane’s Walk is a movement of free, neighbor-led walking conversations inspired by Jane Jacobs. Anybody can lead a Jane’s Walk. The festival encourages people to share stories about their neighborhoods, discover unseen aspects of their communities, and use walking as a way to connect with their neighbors.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2024 Festival. We’ll be posting reflections and photos of this year’s walks soon. And be sure to put the 2025 dates in your calendar!
