Register your block party for National Night Out 2024!

Published on June 03, 2024

National Night Out is coming up on Tuesday, Aug. 6 and we want you to participate. Celebrations generally happen anywhere from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. National Night Out is a national community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie and crime prevention. National Night Out is a great opportunity to engage with your neighbors, police officers and city staff. In keeping with past tradition, several Menlo Park neighborhoods will host outdoor gatherings. The Police Department looks forward to helping neighborhoods celebrate these block parties and gatherings.

In addition to waiving the street closure permit fees, Chief Norris and the department executives will make their best effort to make an appearance at every registered block party. There will also be a variety of giveaways for block parties that register. Visit the National Night Out page or Contact Mayra Lombera at mlombera@menlopark.gov for more information on how to participate or host a block party. Keep an eye out for the publication of block party locations closer to the date so you can plan which celebration to attend if you are not hosting one.
