Jane’s Walk, the volunteer-led celebration of urban life, inspired by Jane Jacobs, has always been a time to come together and share our love for this city. MAS is busy planning for the 2023 festival, which will take place May 5-7.

MAS hosts the NYC chapter of this international festival, which is inspired by urban activist Jane Jacobs. Jane’s Walk invites participants to experience an exciting roster of volunteer-led walks that generate conversation about NYC and to celebrate its vibrant past, present, and future. Learn more here.

WHO CAN LEAD A JANE’S WALK? YOU CAN!

We welcome anyone who loves New York City to lead a Jane’s Walk this year. Volunteers can lead a walk any topic that celebrates the history, culture, and spirit of New York City. Find our 2023 walk submission form here. Submissions are now open through Friday, March 31st!

We cannot wait to celebrate New York City with you this May!
