The Good Neighbor Award recognizes individuals who make a difference in the Middleton community and who embody what it means to be a Good Neighbor.  Nominees must be an individual person, they must not be a prior award winner, and must reside in Middleton. Preference is given to nominees who go above and beyond in the community outside of their regular job. 

The Good Neighbor Award has been part of the festival since 1980, and has been awarded to people of all ages and walks of life.  See a list of all past winners here:  Good Neighbor Award Winners 1980-2022
