National Night Out is scheduled for the evening of August 6, 2024, with nearly 100 events across Berkeley. Activities include block parties, potlucks, and meetups primarily starting at 5 p.m. Road closures are anticipated near these events. A highlight is the Stop the Violence Block Party co-hosted by McGee Avenue Baptist Church, featuring entertainment, community booths, and engagement with city officials. Last year's event introduced a significant Gun Violence Intervention Program, part of ongoing community efforts to address crime and violence through local partnerships and resources.
National Night Out promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie, organized through nearly 100 neighborhood events planned around Berkeley to enhance local engagement.
The McGee Avenue Baptist Church and Berkeley's Recreation Division will co-host a Stop the Violence National Night Out Block Party with games, community booths, and live performances.
Events will likely cause road closures, with activities primarily scheduled from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., enhancing community relations and engagement with law enforcement.
Last year, officials announced a $2 million Gun Violence Intervention and Prevention Program at the block party, emphasizing community-driven strategies for crime reduction.
