Join Norfolk Virginia’s Ghent Neighborhood League
as we promote activities that foster a sense of community. From social events and sustainable beautification initiatives to informative meetings and symposia we look to bring all residents of Ghent together in support of our beloved historic neighborhood. Our monthly meetings are the third Wednesday of most months and our calendar features upcoming events.
The Ghent Neighborhood League exists to unite a vibrant community of residents by promoting inclusivity, supporting thoughtful growth and fostering civic pride. We are dedicated to advocating for the needs and aspirations of our neighborhood, preserving its heritage and creating a welcoming environment for all who call Ghent home. Through active engagement and collaboration we work to enhance our quality of life and ensure Ghent remains a model neighborhood in Hampton Roads.
All are welcome!
Upcoming Events!
Monthly community Cleanup January 4, 2025 8:00AM
Kick off the New Year helping keep Ghent shiny and clean! With our community partners Keep Norfolk Beautiful, who supply all our gear (grabbers, vests and bags) we’ll be out on a very cold morning. We’re meeting on the corner of Spotswood and Colley and hope to see you there.
January’s Ghent Social
Our monthly Ghent Social is going to be at Press 626 in their private tasting room. Join us for community, conversation and great eats and drinks. We’ll be there from 5-7 (or until). All are welcome to this monthly event, like everything else we do!
The most important part of the GNL is its members.
We are interested in your ideas and opinions and are delighted when our members participate in and volunteer for our many projects. We want you as a member and look forward to your input.
Membership is open to any resident of the Ghent Neighborhood, both renters and home owners.
The GNL also advocates for the conservation and promotion of the historic character of the Ghent neighborhood, its architectural resources, and environmental quality. We facilitate communication between residents, provide a structured forum for discussing issues and concerns of the neighborhood, and act as the primary conduit between residents and local government.
