We Are Noble 2025
May 16-18, 23

We are Noble, May 16-18 & 23, is the neighborhood-wide event where we join together each year to celebrate all things Noble. Sure, there's lots of issues to work on here in our neighborhood, but we take a break from that focus and just enjoy each other for a bit. Every resident, every business, every institution is invited to showcase their assets, promote their cause and invite others to come and see what makes us Noble - in both the place name as well as the character quality senses of the word!

Every resident is welcome to host a yard sale at their residence.
Every business is welcome to attract new customers.
Every institution is welcome to showcase the gifts they offer which make them a community asset.

afternoon/evening          Pick-Up and Picnic          neighborhood and Noble Library
       Sometime before Friday at 6:30:   Pick-Up Litter  Find an hour to pick up litter in the neighborhood as we prepare for visitors to join us for our neighborhood celebration. Choose your street, a public area, a park or maybe just a sidewalk along one of our main thoroughfares. Remember, part of our purpose for We Are Noble is to invite others to invest in our neighborhood as homebuyers and business entrepreneurs. Help us show off our best!
      6:30 - 7:30pm:   Bring Your Own Picnic  Join others who've been preparing for We Are Noble, too, at our Bring Your Own Picnic at the picnic tables on the Kirkwood side of Noble Library. The Bring Your Own part means you're only responsible for your own dinner - you don't need to bring a dish to share and no one needs to organize bringing plates, cups, ice, forks, garbage collection - all that, all that. Just come ready to enjoy each other! Of course, if you're one of those folks who cannot go to a picnic without bringing a plate of brownies, we'll be glad to help lighten your tray (wink, wink!). But seriously, you only need to bring a picnic dinner for yourself.
