Neighbour Day Murals
Come Together. Colour Calgary.
Neighbour Day is Calgary's celebration of community spirit and connection. Hosted annually on the third Saturday in June, the Day fosters welcoming and inclusive communities where neighbours connect and belong every day of the year. This year, Tourism Calgary is bringing something new and Right out of the Blue to the block!
Tourism, like Neighbour Day, is about bringing people together – people from all over the world, or just down the block. And when people feel welcomed in their own communities, visitors feel that Calgary is a place where everyone feels like they belong.
Add more colour to your Neighbour Day event!
Tourism Calgary, in collaboration with local artist Cory Bugden, has developed an interactive mural activity for your Neighbour Day event. This activity captures the true spirit of Calgary, the neighbourhoods, people, experiences, and diversity that make this city unlike anywhere else.
How It Works
Perfect for all ages, the mural kit is designed to be self-serve and simple. Roll out the mural on a table, set out the markers and let your community do the rest. Think of it as a giant colouring sheet, made for Calgary, coloured by Calgarians. By the end of the day, your community will have built a collective portrait of the city, one neighbour at a time.
Each kit also includes small supporting signage and a chance for participants to enter a contest to win an unforgettable Calgary staycation valued at $1,000.
If you share your mural on social media, feel free to tag @tourismcalgary, we’d love to see your community’s masterpiece come to life!
