National Night Out is a time to gather as a community, celebrate what makes your neighborhood unique, and get to know your neighbors.

You can reserve city parks on a first-come, first-served basis, and the city waives fees for this great event. First responders often come out to these neighborhood gatherings to meet the people they are serving face-to-face.

If you're planning on hosting a block party, street closures are free, but the group hosting the event is responsible for the cost of the barricades.
