Frederick Police Invites Community to Celebrate National Night Out on August 4

The Frederick Police Department is excited to announce that it will host National Night Out 2026 on Tuesday, August 4, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This annual event aims to strengthen the bonds between law enforcement and the community, and is open to residents of all ages. The festivities will take place simultaneously at three local parks: Hill Street Park, Mullinix Park, and Carrollton Park.

National Night Out is a nationwide campaign that promotes community unity and crime prevention. This year, the event will feature a variety of activities, including free BBQ, music, games, and giveaways. It provides a fantastic opportunity for residents to connect with their neighbors, meet local police officers, and engage with City staff. Whether you are a long-time resident or new to Frederick, this event is designed to foster relationships and enhance neighborhood safety.

The Frederick Police Department encourages local businesses, nonprofits, civic organizations, and community groups to participate by hosting informational tables or interactive activities. This involvement not only enriches the event but also helps organizations share valuable resources with the community. National Night Out serves as a platform for strengthening community connections and enhancing public safety efforts.

As the Frederick community prepares for this evening of fun, fellowship, and partnership, the Police Department looks forward to welcoming everyone and continuing its mission to make Frederick a safer place to live, work, and visit. Community organizations interested in participating or residents with questions about the event are encouraged to reach out to Public Information Officer Samantha Long at slong@frederickmdpolice.org.
