National Night Out Returning To Wynnewood After 2020 Hiatus

WYNNEWOOD, PA — After a year off due to the coronavirus pandemic, National Night Out is back in Wynnewood for 2021.

The National Association of Town Watch, in partnership with Lower Merion Community Watch, will host the annual National Night Out Festival in the Wynnewood Shopping Center on Tuesday, August 3, from 6 to 9 p.m.

The event will be held in the rear of the center near Giant and Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza.

Attendees will be able to enjoy live music, food, rides, carnival games, Lower Merion police and firefighters, and Narberth Ambulance, roving entertainment, safety information, and area nonprofits and businesses.

"After a year off due to COVID, everyone is excited to get the party restarted," National Night Out founder Matt Peskin, of Wynnewood, said. "NNO brings neighbors and first-responders together under positive circumstances. It’s a great night to promote police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie."

Parking will be available throughout the Wynnewood Shopping Center.

National Night Out aims to heighten crime prevention awareness; generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and; send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

This year's National Night Out will involve millions of people from 16,500 communities across the country from all 50 states.
