National Night Out will take place in Oakland on August 5 from 5-8 p.m., under the theme 'Celebrating Safe Spaces in the Town.' Residents can register online until July 28 to host neighborhood events such as block parties or barbecues. This year marks a significant change as it will be the first National Night Out without the Neighborhood Services Division, which was eliminated to address the city's budget deficit. The event will now be integrated into Town Nights, a public safety initiative by the Department of Violence Prevention.
National Night Out, an annual gathering for neighbors and local law enforcement to get to know each other, returns to Oakland Aug. 5 from 5-8 p.m.
This year's theme is 'Celebrating Safe Spaces in the Town,' according to a news release from the city of Oakland.
Because the Neighborhood Service Division is no longer around to help organize National Night Out, the event will become part of Town Nights, a program that Oakland's Department of Violence Prevention launched in 2021.
