Registration Now Open For Berkeley's National Night Out

BERKELEY, CA — The city of Berkeley announced registration for its National Night Out is now open.

Celebrated by millions of neighbors across thousands of communities, the annual event promoting police and community partnerships, will take part throughout the Bay Area and across the nation Tuesday Aug. 1.

"We have updated the registration process this year with a new interactive map to assist you in finding an event in your area," the city of Berkeley said in a news release.

Those interested in taking part in National Night Out can organize or attend an event in their neighborhoods where residents are invited to gather together and get to know one another, the city said.

Sizes of participating groups often vary from just a few neighbors to events where 100 people or more come out, the city said.

"Groups gather for potlucks, cookouts, or just a meet and greet," the city said, adding that Berkeley Police Officers, Berkeley Fire Fighters and Paramedics, city staff, and Berkeley elected officials will be out roaming the neighborhoods of Berkeley and will stop in to say hello.

"Become a part of your community and join us for National Night Out 2023," the city said.
