It’s that time of year again, National Night Out is back! Celebrated the first Tuesday of August, this year’s NNO will mark 31 years of communities across the nation coming together with “lights on, dusk to dawn,” to get to know neighbors, reflect on community happenings, and sip root beer floats while planning ways to promote safer neighborhoods.
In 2013, as in previous years, Minneapolis ranked #1 for National Night Out celebrations among cities with a population size of 300,000 or more, according to the National Association of Town Watch (NATW). Saint Paul also made a strong showing last year, ranking #3 out of 142 cities with a population size between 100,000 – 299,000.
