Registration Now Open For Newark's National Night Out

NEWARK, CA — The city of Newark has announced registration for its National Night Out event 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.

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.

"All Newark citizens, neighborhoods, apartment complexes, townhomes, business, and shopping centers are invited and encouraged to participate," the city said. "Hosting an event or block party is a simple way for people to meet, have fun, and explore how they might work together to improve the safety and quality of life in their neighborhood."

Block parties and other National Night Out events should be registered so city officials including police, fire and other public safety officials can be scheduled to attend.

Deadline to register is Wednesday, July 12, the city said.
