National Night Out

It's Time to Organize Your Block Party!

Tuesday, August 5, 2025
5:00pm - 8:00pm

Organize a block party, barbecue, ice cream social, or other outdoor event that brings neighbors together.

The 2025 National Night Out theme is "Town Nights - Celebrating Safe Spaces in the Town." 

City of Oakland staff, Oakland Fire Department and Police Department personnel and elected officials will be out roaming the neighborhoods and will visit as many parties as possible.

It's time to reconnect with neighbors and friends!

Sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, National Night Out (NNO) is America's night out and a time for neighbors to get together to build neighborhood spirit and unity. Research shows that when neighbors know each other, neighborhoods are safer.

Register to host a party by July 28, 2025.

We have a new City of Oakland portal called OakApps that requires everyone to login with an account before filling out the NNO registration form.
