The first Tuesday of August is a unique night meant for nothing more than connection with those living on your street and the people tasked to protect it: National Night Out, which is now in its 42nd year.
National Night Out is a neighborhood gathering with local police officers. Typically residential streets are closed off for the evening for celebrations such as block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts, family activities, or events.
Minnesotans, and families across the country, focused on building a stronger relationship with local law enforcement Tuesday night.
More than 20 million people will gather to meet neighbors and local law enforcement. WCCO went to Stillwater to find out why this event is so important.
Events are planned from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Union Depot.
