Take a break from the noise of daily life and reconnect with what truly matters—kindness, compassion and community. Inspirefest 2025, presented by Neighbor to Neighbor Toledo, is a free community celebration happening Saturday, November 1, from 2-4:30pm at the Ottawa Park Shelter House.
The event invites Toledoans of all ages to come together for an afternoon filled with music, food, dancing and inspiring stories that highlight the power of human connection. Kids can enjoy fun activities while adults hear local leaders, business owners and kindness advocates share personal experiences about building bridges across neighborhoods.
What to expect
Attendees can look forward to a joyful lineup of live entertainment, community storytelling and plenty of opportunities to make new friends. From toe-tapping tunes to shared laughter over a meal, every part of Inspirefest is designed to remind us that kindness is contagious—and it starts right where we live.
Everything at the event is free, reflecting Neighbor to Neighbor’s core value that generosity and goodwill should be accessible to everyone.
