Town of Wake Forest issued the following announcement on Sept. 12.
Good Neighbor Day returns to E. Carroll Joyner Park, 701 Harris Road, Saturday, Sept. 17, from 1-4 p.m. Good Neighbor Day is an annual celebration that assembles Wake Forest residents from all walks of life for a day of free food, fun, and family entertainment. By bringing together a mix of cultures, music, ages and ethnicities, the event celebrates diversity and promotes goodwill among all Wake Forest citizens.
A special part of this year's Good Neighbor Day will be the presentation of the "Good Neighbor of the Year" Award. Mayor Vivian Jones will present the honor to a local youth and adult who consistently demonstrate an unfailing commitment to preserving, maintaining, and improving the quality of life in their neighborhood and community. The Good Neighbor of the Year Award presentations will take place on the Joyner Park Amphitheater stage at approximately 2:15 p.m.
Over 4,000 Wake Forest-area residents have participated in Good Neighbor Day since its inception in 2006. Offering food, dancing, local musicians, a DJ, giveaways, and recreational activities for both children and adults, this family-oriented celebration promises something for everyone.
The HRC encourages diversity and promotes goodwill among all citizens of Wake Forest. Good Neighbor Day serves as a catalyst for carrying out the town’s vision of “building a community populated by diverse groups whose common bond is a love of our town.” For more information about Good Neighbor Day, visit wakeforestnc.gov and search “Good Neighbor Day.”
