This free family event builds upon the values and themes of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, introducing children to community helpers and caring neighbors while helping them learn about the importance of giving back to the community. 

Be My Neighbor Day features a wide range of engaging, educational activities, including: 

• Daniel Tiger meet & greet

• Community helper stations with first responders, librarians and more

• Fire truck, helicopter, trolley and LG&E-KU High Voltage Trailer 

• Arts and crafts stations

• Puppy visits with Kentucky Humane Society 

• Healthy snacks plus a book and backpack for every child

Help KET give back to our community! In tribute to Mister Rogers’ legacy, please bring a new or gently used sweater for our sweater drive collection. At the event, your family can help assemble goody bags with KET-provided after-school snacks, activities and school supplies for the children served by the Backside Learning Center at Churchill Downs.

The event is free, but registration is required. Register online at KET.org/Neighbor.
