October 1 is National Night Out in Arlington
National Night
Out, held the first
Tuesday of October
in Texas, promotes
crime prevention,
police-community
partnership and
neighborhood
camaraderie. It
encourages people
to turn on their porch
lights, step outside,
and get to know their
neighbors at small
block parties.
This year, the City of Arlington’s Neighborhood Engagement Program is hosting a
contest for one lucky neighborhood to win the Block Party Trailer for its National
Night Out party.
Those who are interested in participating are asked to fill out a 12-question
online Neighborhood Engagement Survey. One survey equals one entry, with
no maximum limit set on how many times a neighborhood can enter. The City
will draw one winner at random for the contest, which closes Sept. 15, 2019.
City Staff will arrange for the Block Party Trailer to be delivered to the winning
neighborhood the day before the event and pick it up the following day.
To prepare for your National Night Out event, be sure to register your
neighborhood with the Arlington Police Department and apply for a street
closure: www.arlingtontx.gov/blockparty.
