The annual Community Night Out in Princeton is on Tuesday, August 6 at the Community Park Pool, 400 Witherspoon Street, from 5 to 8 p.m.

Stop by for a free night of swimming; grilled hot dogs; and all kinds of information, swag bags, and fun stuff from Princeton area vendors. Meet members of the Princeton Municipal Government, Princeton Recreation Department, Princeton Police Department, Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad, Princeton Fire Department, Princeton University Department of Public Safety, and more, who will be on hand to demonstrate some of the equipment and services they provide.

Last year’s event saw kids racing through obstacle courses, and a chance to dunk a police officer in a dunk tank. Princeton Police officers manned the grill.

The campaign to bring residents safely together was introduced nationwide in 1984. Millions participate and attend across the country through community parties, cookouts, or parades.
