Night to Unite and Block Parties
Block parties and other neighborhood celebrations are a great way to meet new neighbors, build neighborhood relationships and establish stronger connections. Public Safety would enjoy visiting your block party, neighborhood celebration or the like!
At this time, only police officers and squads might be able to attend these celebrations. Due to staffing capacity, our EMS Fire team are unable to visit block parties, neighborhood celebration or similar gatherings.
Night to Unite
Public Safety encourages neighbors encourages residents to plan block parties, potlucks, ice cream socials, barbecues, bike parades and children's games on Minnesota Night to Unite. Held annually on the first Tuesday in August, the event provides an opportunity to meet new neighbors and establish stronger connections with Public Safety.
Night to Unite 2024 will take place Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2024. We will begin accepting requests for Night to Unite visits in early July 2024.
