CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Charlotte Center City Partners and CMPD invite everyone to Victoria Yards to celebrate National Night Out! Bring your family, meet your neighbors, and celebrate community safety with us. You will have the opportunity to meet your local community officers, learn about safety programs, play games, listen to music and enjoy food and refreshments.

Vendors will include CMPD, Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office, DA’s Office, Vision Zero, CDOT, Oak Street Health, Starbucks, Icy Paradice, Books on the House, Uptown and South End, and more!

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign held on the first Tuesday of August in many cities nationwide. It began in 1984 in the suburbs of Pennsylvania with neighbors turning on their porch lights, sitting in front of their homes and getting to know local community police officers.

It is an experience designed to strengthen neighborhood camaraderie and promote community-police partnerships. It aims to enhance relationships between neighbors and law enforcement while fostering
safer, caring communities.

National Night Out in Victoria Yards seeks to replicate that experience. Gathering together with a cookout, our neighbors, music, activities, information and law enforcement creates a recipe for building community.
Come join us at our very own front porch experience at Victoria Yards!
