Northampton Neighbors
Northampton Neighbors is inclusive. We welcome people of all ages from every corner of the community to participate in whatever ways are meaningful to them: to give, to receive, and to feel connected and fulfilled either way. Because isn’t that what a good life is all about?
Please consider supporting Northampton Neighbors with a contribution to the DoozyDo Parade. A dollar from each member will get us to our goal of $1,500!
Join us on September 23rd as we walk 'n' roll up Main Street or bring your friends, family, and neighbors to cheer us on.

Northampton Neighbors' DoozyDo Parade
The DoozyDo Parade is a fun, whimsical, community-wide event hosted by Northampton Neighbors. Inspired by Pasadena's Doo-Dah Parade (begun in 1978) and originally intended as a fundraiser for Northampton Neighbors, it has become an intergenerational mixer, a challenge to misconceptions about older adults, an opportunity for collective effervescence, a celebration of community and a love letter to the City of Northampton. Join teams of friends, family and neighbors; bands and musical groups; local nonprofits; business sponsors; floats and vinatage cars; bagpipers and drummers; and our Grand-ish Marshals.
