The night’s itinerary includes hot dog eating and hula hoop contests, face painting stations and balloon artists, a dunk tank, bounce houses, and a potato sack slide. The entertainment lineup includes native Polynesian dancers and live music.
Law enforcement agencies will perform SWAT, K9, fire rescue, and aviation demonstrations and share crime prevention tips and ideas on how to build safer communities.
Event vendors offer free popcorn, refreshments, ice cream, and snow cones.
National Night Out Against Crime is a yearly community-building event celebrated all over the United States. Law enforcement agencies in communities across the country host the celebration to interact and build close relationships with the residents and all those who live and work within the community.
