Be My Neighbor Day

Welcome to our annual celebration of caring for community ♥️

Please join Daniel Tiger, Katerina Kittycat, and KERA for a very special Be My Neighbor Day!

Saturday, March 25, 2023

10am-2pm

Klyde Warren Park

2012 Woodall Rodgers Fwy

Dallas, TX 75201

Children and parents alike will learn the importance of community-focused kindness and sharing by taking part in KERA’s annual Be My Neighbor Day event, as we teach children the importance of giving back to the community. We will also celebrate the rich cultural diversity of our neighbors, across North Texas, through craft activities, a cultural marketplace, and live performances. There will also be special appearances by Daniel Tiger and Katerina Kittycat.

Each year we invite attendees to help support our North Texas neighbors. Check below for more information about this year’s beneficiaries.  All the items collected at the Daniel Tiger Be My Neighbor Day event will be donated to families in the Vickery Meadow neighborhood.

We thank you for being a caring neighbor! Can’t wait to see you at the event.
