National Night Out

National Night Out: Tuesday, Aug. 4, 5 to 11 p.m., on blocks across Minneapolis.

National Night Out runs Tuesday, August 4, 2026, from 5 to 11 p.m. There is no single venue: the annual campaign is built around individual block parties, so the event happens wherever neighbors choose to host one. A central Minneapolis location has not been announced because, by design, there isn't one.

National Night Out promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie, with the stated goal of making neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. To put your own block on the map, register your gathering with the City of Minneapolis.

If you go

National Night Out is Tuesday, August 4, 5 to 11 p.m. The party is wherever your block holds one, so the practical first step is registering or finding your neighbors' event rather than showing up to a fixed address. Check the Lowry Hill Neighborhood Association calendar for any updates before you head out.
