Communities throughout Aurora will come together to celebrate National Night Out Tuesday, Aug. 4. National Night Out is a nationwide event that occurs annually on the first Tuesday in August. Across Aurora’s 10 wards, neighbors will gather in the community to strengthen relationships among residents, public safety officials, and City leaders.
Various neighborhoods throughout the City will host events with live music and giveaways that are family-friendly and community-minded. These celebrations encourage residents to come outside and spend the evening getting to know their neighbors, community partners, and local officials. Events are put on in collaboration with the City’s Community Engagement Division, who work with neighborhood leaders to create a schedule of robust programming.
