The event is an informal opportunity for neighborhoods to increase familiarity and communication among neighbors by way of a block party, and was initiated to encourage neighbors to get to know one another.

"We believe connected neighborhoods make safer neighborhoods; residents look out for one another if there is a connection. Many participants have stated they have lived in a neighborhood for years and continue to meet new people at each DNNO event," city staff said.
