National Night Out 2022 & 'Spiderman' Movie Planned At Hercules Park

HERCULES, CA — Mark your calendars!

The City of Hercules will host its 2022 National Night Out event, complete with an outdoor movie, food trucks and music, Tuesday, Aug. 2 at Refugio Valley Park at 1515 Refugio Valley Road.

The event begins at 6 p.m. with food, games, community booths, public safety/law enforcement organizations, followed by a screening of "Spiderman: No Way Home," the Parks & Recreation department said.

The free, community event is a partnership with the city and the Bayfront Chamber of Commerce.

The nationwide National Night Out tradition began in a Pennsylvania town in 1970, and the annual campaign, intended to build police and community camaraderie, began expanding across the country in 1984.

Now in its 39th year, the event, typically held on the first Tuesday in August, is celebrated in communities throughout the U.S. with neighborhood block parties, parades, cookouts, safety demonstrations and visits from law enforcement and emergency personnel.
