Join Daniel Tiger and friends to celebrate kindness and service at the third annual San Diego Be My Neighbor Day!
About this Event

Join KPBS for San Diego’s fourth annual Be My Neighbor Day on Saturday, April 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at KPBS on the San Diego State University campus, 5200 Campanile Dr., San Diego, 92182. Be My Neighbor Day is a free outdoor event for young children and families.

This year, we’ll celebrate what it means to be a community helper, just like Daniel Tiger! It’s never too early to be a contributing member of community. Join us to learn how even a small act of service can bring a lot of joy and make a very big difference.


  • Celebrate National Volunteer Month and Month of the Military Child with our community neighbors who lead efforts to serve others each and every day.
  • Pay it forward, one small act of kindness at a time. Hands-on activities and crafts for the whole family!
  • For the second year, we're excited to feature the GI Film Festival San Diego Military Family Pavilion. The Pavilion will include fun and engaging activities to build a sense of community and belonging for local military families, resource booths hosted by local military family support organizations, and serve as an inviting space that will encourage all attendees to interact and learn about each other as San Diego neighbors.
  • Enjoy storytime, live music, and entertainment
  • And of course, visit with PBS KIDS’ beloved friends, Daniel Tiger and Katerina Kittycat!


All attendees will receive a KPBS KIDS giveaway, as well as resources on how to continue to serve as a community helper and compassionate neighbor!


We encourage early arrival to the event to ensure access to all activities. Please wear layered clothing and comfortable shoes, as the event is mostly outdoors. We encourage guests to bring a reusable water bottle with them. There will be water stations. Driving, parking, and pedestrian directions will be provided in confirmation emails sent prior to the event. Need accomodations? Please email [email protected].
