Lower Merion Postpones National Night Out Celebrations

Lower Merion, PA -- The Lower Merion National Night Out Celebration has been postponed due to the poor weather forecasted, the township announced.

The annual National Night Out Festival will now take place on Wednesday, June 29, instead of the originally scheduled date of Tuesday, June 28, the township said.

The event is part of a national series dedicated to uniting police and the community in the fight against crime and drugs.

Due to construction planned at Suburban Square, the event is not being held in August, as it has in past years, the township said.

Events will include carnival rides, games, child fingerprinting, a giant slide, live music, a moonbounce, clowns, food, and much more.

The National Association of the Town Watch launched the nationwide event in 1984. Local communities organize their celebrations independently.
