Now in its 36th year, National Night Out was originally organized to:

Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness;

Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime efforts;

Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and

Send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Festivities can range from something as simple as treats for the kids to a full-blown potluck dinner. Many Galveston neighborhoods will host block parties and cookouts, hold contests, and offer fun children’s activities. This is an excellent opportunity to get to know your neighbors, support local businesses, and engage in a community-wide, family friendly event.

Are you interested in being a block captain or looking to find out about an event in your neighborhood? Please contact us by calling 409-457-1333 or by email Galveston's NNO to register your neighborhood today!
