Neighborhoods planning National Night Out events in Redwood City

Redwood City is gearing up for National Night Out events on Tuesday, Aug. 7.

National Night Out is observed in cities across the U.S. on the first Tuesday of August.

It aims to promote partnerships between law enforcement and residents to strengthen public safety and sense of community.

“Eight neighborhood associations are hosting National Night Out events across the city held in parks and blocked off streets,” city officials said. “The Neighborhood Associations are planning great activities ranging from a car show to live local bands and everything in between”
