During the month of May, NLC will celebrate the unique charm and vibrant spirit of our local communities during National Cities, Towns & Villages Month!

Join us in honoring the places we call home, the leaders who have stepped up to lead them and your residents who make these communities extraordinary. Showcase the beauty, diversity and unity of our cities, towns and villages.

Here are a few ways to participate in National Cities, Towns & Villages Month:
