By - posted 8/4/2015 No Comment


We wish there were 1,000 block parties just in SF! We have 10 official ones, but seriously, nationwide there’s over 1,000 with just about every city and community with a police department hosting a block party tonight.

National Night Out is all about strengthening your immediate community, so we encourage you to ask your neighbors and check out your city website to find a party.

No parties in your town? Start building community yourself and host your very own party. Once you register, you’ll receive the NNO Organizational Kit filled with “how-to” materials.
