Jane's Walk

Jane’s Walk is a global festival of free, volunteer-led walking conversations inspired by community activist Jane Jacobs. Jane’s Walks combine the simple act of exploring a place with personal observations, local history, and civic engagement. The annual Jane’s Walk festival takes place the first weekend in May, in more than 200 cities and towns around the globe.

There are 37 walks happening in communities throughout Maine. Check out the full list! With so many options, there’s truly something for everyone!

We are partnering with Maine Preservation, Portland Downtown, Friends of Congress Square Park, and the Maine Downtown Center for this day-long event. Stay tuned for more details!
