ICYMI: Bowie to Participate in National Night Out

Mark your calendars and save the date for Bowie’s National Night Out Against Crime.

The annual event, organized and hosted by Bowie Police Department, will take place Tuesday, Aug. 5, at Allen Pond Park, 3330 Northview Drive, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

National Night Out Against Crime offers a fun, casual environment to bring together the community and law enforcement to discuss ways on improving personal and neighborhood safety.

Festivities at the event include law enforcement displays, information booths, free food and drinks provided by Target, Texas Roadhouse and other local businesses, demonstrations and the chance to drop people you know into a dunk tank.

Children’s activities include face painting, a moon bounce, giveaways and special appearances by Spider-man and the Baysox mascot, Louie.

Members of the Bowie Public Safety Committee, the Chamber of Commerce and other local organizations will be present to help with the event.

Prince George’s County will also unveil a memorial for the PGPD’s fallen heroes at the District VI station in Beltsville on Tuesday. Police Chief Mark Magaw will give a speech at the unveiling ceremony.
