This annual community event highlights organizations that offer constructive activities, services, and educational resources for youth and families, with a focus on promoting healthy, positive, and safe alternatives to gang involvement and drug use.

National Night Out is a nationwide initiative held each August to raise awareness about law enforcement programs and community efforts that support public safety, drug prevention, Neighborhood Watch, and anti-crime initiatives.

This year’s event is co-hosted by the Marina Police Department and the Marina Police Activities League (PAL), whose ongoing commitment to youth programming plays a vital role in supporting and enriching the lives of young people throughout the community.
