About National Night Out

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that brings neighbors and police together. It was started in 1984 by Matt Peskin and the National Association of Town Watch, and the first event drew about 2.5 million people in 400 communities. Today millions of people take part in thousands of communities across all fifty states.

It is held on the first Tuesday of August, which in 2027 is August 3; some areas, including much of Texas, hold it in October when the weather is cooler. Neighborhoods host block parties, cookouts and festivals, and police officers, firefighters and other first responders visit to meet residents.

Children are at the heart of many events. Departments hand out junior officer stickers and badges, kids tour patrol cars and fire engines, and many agencies give a small patch so that children have something to take home. Those giveaways are ordered in bulk, so departments usually place orders in June.
