Hoboken’s National Night Out celebration will take place in Church Square Park on Tuesday, August 5th between 5pm and 9pm.  Officials say it will be a fun night for everyone.

Celebrated across the country, National Night Out is an initiative promoting police-community partnerships and neighborhood solidarity.  In the Mile Square City, the free event is co-sponsored by the Hoboken Police Department and the Stevens Institute of Technology Police Department.  Law enforcement joins with local residents, businesses and community leaders with family-friendly activities, games, entertainment, food, and fun.

Hoboken Police Chief Steven Aguiar stated, “We look forward to National Night Out every year, to connect with our community, promote crime and drug awareness and prevention, strengthen relationships, and send a message that Hoboken is united in the fight against crime.  I encourage all to come out to meet our team, learn a little more about what we do, and have a blast.”
Representatives from a wide range of public safety and emergency response agencies will also be on hand, including the Hoboken Fire Department, Office of Emergency Management, Hoboken EMS and Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), NJ Transit Police, Port Authority Police, Hudson County Prosecutor’s and Sheriff’s Offices, and others.
Those who attend can look forward to an exciting lineup of activities and demonstrations, including:
  • Children’s activities including a bounce house, water slide, sand art and an obstacle course

  • A “jaws of life” demonstration by the Hoboken Fire Department

  • Complimentary food including shaved ice, hot dogs, frozen hot cocoa, and donuts

  • Music and entertainment

  • A 360-degree photo booth

There will also be a sensory friendly comfort and cooling zone, where families can take a break from the fun, if needed.  Local organizations and small businesses will also be present, offering giveaways, resources, and community information.
