Neighborhood parties will be held throughout the Bay Area on Tuesday, Aug. 4, for National Night Out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What started more than 40 years ago as a symbolic porch vigil has been adopted by law enforcement agencies as a family-friendly annual initiative to strengthen community ties. Events in the Bay Area range from neighborhood potlucks to city-sponsored parties including barbecues, bounce houses, dunk tanks and giveaways.<\/p>\n

BAY AREA EVENTS<\/p>\n

Almost all cities in the region participate in the event, usually coordinated by police departments or sheriff\u2019s offices. Some cities have a designated public event; others encourage neighborhood celebrations. If your city isn\u2019t on the list below, check your law enforcement agency\u2019s social media account for information.<\/p>\n
