National Night Out 2026 is upon us!

This year’s National Night Out event will be at Grenville Park on Tuesday, August 4th, from 6:00pm-8:00pm.

NNO is a family-friendly community event where parents and their children will have the opportunity to interact with squad cars, fire trucks, ambulances, DPW equipment, and other public safety partners to enhance the relationship between neighbors and emergency service personnel while bringing back a true sense of community.

The best way to build a safer community is to know your neighbors and your surroundings. NNO triumphs over a culture that isolates us from each other, and allows us to rediscover our own communities and build lasting relationships for a brighter tomorrow.

We hope to see you there!
