National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
“The best way to build a safer community is to know your neighbors and your surroundings. National Night Out triumphs over a culture that isolates us from each other and allows us to rediscover our own communities.”
— Kay Bailey Hutchison, Senator
Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all fifty states, U.S. territories, and military bases worldwide on the first Tuesday in August. Neighborhoods host block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts, and various other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits, and much, much more.

The public is welcome to join us outdoors in the back parking lot shared by the Cultural Center and the NYM Public Library (weather permitting). Come and meet a Police Officer, explore some Public Works equipment, chat with Library staff and buy a used book to take home, have fun with rock painting and leaf rubbing with Roots & Wings Forest School, enjoy a variety of games and activities for all ages, and enjoy “inspired street eats” cooked up by Spanky’s Stone Hearth’s food truck, “Foodie!”
