United Neighbors
United Neighbors is a collaboration between community members and local organizations, who work to organize a collective celebration of the communities on both sides of I-95 through Wilmington. By closing down the bridges across I-95 (6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th Street, and Delaware Avenue Bridges), the West Side and West Center City Communities literally bridge the gap I-95 created through art, improvements, food, conversation, and celebration.
2026 Event Details
Saturday, October 17th 1:00 - 4:00pm
West 7th Street Bridge between North Adams & North Jackson Streets
Join us for the United Neighbors 2026 Community Dinner …. an afternoon of food, art, music, movement, and community right on the 7th Street Bridge!
We’re bringing neighbors together from both sides of I-95 to eat, connect, celebrate, and continue reimagining how this space can bring our community together.
Expect food, music, pumpkin painting, sidewalk art, line dancing, community activities, United Neighbors project updates, and more!
This is more than a community dinner, it’s about reclaiming space, building connections, and meeting in the middle of it all. ❤️
More details to come. We can’t wait to see you there!
This event would not be possible without supporters such as M&T Bank, Delaware Division of the Arts, Healthy Communities Delaware, New Castle County, Wilmington City Council Members Alexander Hackett and Christian Willauer, Be Ready CDC, City of Wilmington, Interfaith Community Housing of Delaware, West Side Grows Together, City of Wilmington, DelDOT, WILMAPCO, Wilmington Police Department, Bright Spot Farms, and numerous residents and community leaders.

About United Neighbors
United Neighbors was established in 2018 to celebrate the communities bordering I-95, emphasizing their unique experiences, rich history, and impact of I-95, as well as their hope for the future of their community. United Neighbors, with leadership of local artists and residents, has completed six collaborative murals on the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Street Bridges, plus Delaware Avenue, across I-95 between Adams & Jackson Streets. In realizing this event, United Neighbors believes that they will “bridge” the neighborhoods that I-95 divided back when it was constructed.
