Hosting a ‘National Night Out' Gathering? Share it on Patch

Neighbors across the country will be gathering together Tuesday, Aug. 6 to raise awareness and stand united against crime.

Neighborhoods will be celebrating National Night Out by hosting block parties, family events, visits from emergency personnel and other activities. The purpose is to raise awareness about crime and strengthen community relationships.

If you’re hosting a block party or other activities in honor of National Night Out, then we want to hear about it! Consider sharing your plans and ideas through our blogging platform. 

Once National Night Out is over, continue to blog about safety issues, neighborhood parties or anything that suits your fancy.
