The Big Lunch

The Big Lunch is an annual event encouraging communities to come together by hosting local social gatherings, typically sharing a meal outdoors or in communal spaces. Organized to foster stronger neighborhood connections and promote social cohesion, it aims to reduce loneliness and build community spirit. Participants might host a simple lunch in their garden, park, or shared space, inviting neighbors and friends to enjoy good food and conversation. The event emphasizes inclusivity and community bonding, creating opportunities for new relationships and a sense of belonging within local areas.
