Jane’s Walk
@janeswalk.bsky.social
Jane’s Walk is a movement of free, resident-led walking conversations inspired by Jane Jacobs. The festival returns May 2–4, 2025! Explore, connect, and share stories about the city. #WalkWithUs — www.janeswalkfestivalTO.com
Jane Jacobs reminded us that presence matters. ✨
The simple act of walking, participating, and connecting with neighbours is what shapes thriving communities.
Trust and Community take time. 🌿

Jane’s Walk began in Toronto in 2007 as a grassroots tribute to Jane Jacobs — the legendary urbanist who championed people-first, community-led cities. 🌆🚶♀️
Today, it's a global movement in 500+ cities — but Toronto remains its heart. ❤️
