National Night Out Returns to Pittsburgh

National Night Out (NNO), a community-building campaign that gives neighborhoods the opportunity to host community events in collaboration with local first responders, returns to the Greater Pittsburgh area on Tuesday, August 1, 2023.

About National Night Out

Neighborhoods across the nation host block parties, festivals, cookouts and various other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from public safety personnel, and more. NNO promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make communities safer, more caring places to live.

NNO provides a great opportunity to bring police and other first responders together with residents under positive circumstances. The program enhances the relationship between neighbors, law enforcement and first responders while bringing back a true sense of community.

How to get Involved

The Department of Public Safety’s National Night Out Resources page is where you’ll find contact information to coordinate a community event with a SaferTogether Pittsburgh Coordinator. Helpful event planning links and the City of Pittsburgh’s National Night Out Planning Guide will help neighborhoods to plan their own NNO celebration!

Neighborhoods may also directly sign-up to host a NNO community event through the NNO website.
