WILLIAMSBURG — City of Williamsburg residents are invited to attend the 2025 National Night Out event on Tuesday, Oct. 7, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Community Building.
National Night Out is an annual event that promotes police-community partnerships, public engagement, and neighborhood camaraderie to make neighborhoods a safer, better place to live. Attendees are invited to enjoy free food and entertainment while learning about law enforcement.
NNO’s 2025 theme is “Safer Streets — Stronger Neighborhoods.”
The city says that the event provides an opportunity for residents to meet members of several local law enforcement agencies, including the Williamsburg Police Department, Williamsburg-James City County Sheriff’s Office, Virginia State Police, York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit, Colonial Williamsburg Public Safety, William & Mary Police Department and the National Park Police, as well as local business vendors and sponsors.
“National Night Out embodies our commitment to working hand in hand with the community to create safer streets and stronger neighborhoods,” Community Resource Officer Herb Williams said. “Together, we can strengthen our sense of community, where neighbors look out for one another and feel empowered to make a positive impact in partnership with the Williamsburg Police Department.”
A rain date is slated for Thursday, Oct. 9. For more information about the city’s upcoming events, please visit the official website.
