National Night Out: Building Safer, Stronger Neighborhoods

National Night Out is more than just a fun summer evening — it’s a nationwide movement to strengthen community spirit, promote neighborhood safety, and encourage connections between residents and local law enforcement.

Held each year on the first Tuesday in August, National Night Out brings millions of neighbors together across thousands of communities. From block parties and BBQs to parades and park meetups, the goal is the same: foster trust, friendship, and unity.

Why National Night Out Matters
When neighbors know each other, they’re more likely to watch out for one another, share resources, and build a safer and more vibrant place to live. National Night Out is an opportunity to:

• Meet new neighbors
• Strengthen community ties
• Encourage neighborhood pride
• Engage with local police, fire departments, or first responders
• Learn about safety, emergency preparedness, and community resources

Whether you live in a large master-planned development or a small townhome community, this is a perfect chance to step outside, connect, and celebrate all the things that make your neighborhood special.
