Community Connect: National Night Out Against Crime

Community Connect has resources for free family fun this week during the 39th Annual National Night Out Against Crime.

The celebration happens every year on the first Tuesday of August – this year, that’s August 1st. The goal of the gatherings is to build and grow relationships between neighbors and with law enforcement to support a true sense of community. 

Many police districts in Chicago and suburbs are hosting free events for the whole family on this coming Tuesday:

  • The 7th District Englewood Police Department will host their event from 3pm -7pm at Murray Park, 1743 W. 73rd with free giveaways, food and more!
  • The 8th District Police will host an event at West Lawn Park, 4233 West 65th Street starting at 4 pm with kiddie train rides, raffles, snow cones and gift bags, plus a Peace March at 6:30 and Movie in the Park “Encanto.”
  • Oak Lawn Police and Fire Department host their activities on Tuesday from 6-8 pm in the municipal parking lot behind village hall, 9446 Raymond Avenue. They’re giving police and fire station tours, with a burn demo by the Fire Department, Paw Patrol Chase and Marshall, K9 demonstrations, face painting, and more.

And even though it’s cooling down a bit this weekend, after the extreme heat during the week, remember that the city has resources to help keep you cool… call 3-1-1 to find the location of the nearest cooling center, request a senior well-being check or to report a violation of cooling requirements.

Remember, our community moves forward in the best way possible when we all get the help we need and give the help we can!
