As the poster above says: When Neighbors Know Each Other, Neighborhoods are Safer!

National Night Out, as the name suggests is a National event held on the first Tuesday of August each year.

History (Wikipedia):

The event has been held annually since 1984 and is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch in the United States. National Night Out began simply with neighbors turning on their porch lights and sitting in front of their homes. The first National Night Out involved 2.5 million residents across 400 communities in 23 states; National Night Out 2016 involved 38 million residents in 16,000 communities across the United States.
