Neighborhoods throughout Naperville are invited to join communities nationwide and participate in National Night Out from 5 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, August 3, 2021. Online registration is now available at www.naperville.il.us/nno.

Commonly called "America's Night Out Against Crime," National Night Out is a nationwide event designed to heighten drug prevention and crime awareness, generate support and participation in local anti-crime efforts and strengthen neighborhood spirit and police/community partnerships. Naperville's National Night Out was canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but nearly 50 Naperville neighborhoods participated the previous year by hosting block parties, potlucks, parades, ice cream socials and more! 2021 will mark the 25th time the City of Naperville has participated in National Night Out.

Neighborhoods are asked to register their 2021 National Night Out events with the Naperville Police Department by July 16. Registration is free and will allow members of the Naperville Police, Fire, Public Works, Animal Control, Electric and Water Utility departments, and Park District Police to visit many of the registered events. The City will continue to monitor federal, state and local guidelines pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic and will make any necessary adjustments to staff participation in National Night Out as the event nears.
