National Night Out 2019: Find Your Event In Montgomery County

ROCKVILLE, MD — National Night Out, a national community-building campaign focused on raising awareness about crime and drug prevention, will take place in Montgomery County on Tuesday, Aug. 6.

Now in its 36th year, National Night Out will bring together neighbors and law enforcement officials in an effort to garner support for local anti-crime programs and boost neighborhood pride. The annual event — sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) — takes place on the first Tuesday in August.

In Montgomery County, more than two dozen neighborhoods will turn on their porch lights, sending a message to criminals that residents are fighting back against crime. Neighborhoods will also host block parties featuring cookouts, bounce houses, carnival games, and giveaways. McGruff the Crime Dog is expected to stop by several block parties to spread his anti-crime and anti-drug message.
