National Night Out's early stages began in a Pennsylvania town in 1970, and the annual community-building campaign began catching on and expanding across the country in 1984. Now in its 38th year, the event, typically held on the first Tuesday in August, is in communities throughout the U.S. with neighborhood block parties, parades, cookouts, safety demonstrations, and visits from law enforcement and emergency personnel.
