SOUTH ORANGE, NJ — South Orange’s public safety workers are gearing up for the municipality’s 8th annual National Night Out event from 6:30 to 10 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 1 at Flood's Hill in South Orange.

“This is the 8th year we’re hosting National Night Out in South Orange which is one of the largest events of the year,” South Orange Village President Sheena Collum said.

“Unlike other communities who focus solely on their police department, we saw this as an opportunity to celebrate the work of all our public safety departments including police and fire along with the many organizations and volunteers who serve South Orange such as our Rescue Squad, Community Emergency Response Team, Neighborhood Watch Organization, Moms Demand Action and more,” Collum added. “We have a great lineup and we welcome all to join us.”
