National Night Out is a community-building campaign held annually on the first Tuesday of August. The goal of the event is to strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and to make our communities safer, more caring places to live.
National Night Out began in 1984 as a way to bring police and community members together in a positive environment. Over the years, the event has grown to become one of the largest community events in the country, with millions of people participating each year.
There are many ways to participate in National Night Out. Some communities hold block parties, while others host cookouts or picnics. Some communities even hold parades or festivals.
No matter how you choose to participate, National Night Out is a great way to make a positive difference in your community.
This year's National Night Out will be held on Tuesday, August 6, 2024. Be sure to check with your local police department or community center for details on how to participate.
