NATIONAL NIGHT OUT: TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 2023
An Evening outside with Neighbors and Law Enforcement
PURCELLVILLE, Va. July 20, 2023 —On August 1, 2023, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., neighbors throughout Purcellville and across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on their front porch lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors and law enforcement.
Each year the Purcellville Police Department, and other local first responders caravan through town stopping in 3-4 neighborhoods that are hosting block parties, cookouts, or ice cream socials. Key stops include Giant parking lot at 5:30 pm for lineup and a free picnic, Purcellville Library at 7:00 pm for games and activities, and Loudoun Valley Community Center for an Ice Cream Social at 8:00 pm. All Purcellville neighbors are invited to join us at the three key stops along the National Night Out tour route.
NNO is an annual community-building campaign that promotes strong police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live and work. Together, we are making that happen.
