ABOUT JANE'S WALK:
Jane’s Walk is a global festival of free, volunteer-led walking conversations inspired by community activist Jane Jacobs, held annually on the first Saturday in May. With community partners, Preservation Connecticut coordinated the inaugural Jane’s Walk: Connecticut in 2024. This day of community engagement encourages people to share stories with their neighborhoods, discover aspects of their communities, and connect with their neighbors.
