A message from Council President Elliott Payne

Hello neighbors,

The link to fill out our form to have me stop by your National Night Out party was broken in the last newsletter. If you are having a block party I would love to stop by! Fill out this form if you are interested and I will be going around to as many parties as possible. 

We also have office hours tomorrow at Hi-View Park in the Columbia Park neighborhood from 5-7 PM. Hope to see you there!

Best,

Elliott

Register your event by July 29 for National Night Out Aug. 5

You can still register your event for the 2025 National Night Out, Aug. 5 this year. National Night Out is a time for City residents to come together and celebrate with neighbors. Many blocks in Minneapolis take this opportunity to reconnect, eat and build relationships while kids play and bike freely in the closed street.

Registration is open until July 29 and is free. Pro tips:

• Include neighbors in your organizing efforts.
• Register only one event per block (appoint one neighbor to register).
• Consider whether you want your street blocked off to traffic.
• Checking the box for 75% approval is fine if you plan to notify every household of the event.
• Call 311 to request a fire truck, MPD K9, and/or MPD Mounted Patrol.

• Confirmation emails are sent on Mondays. The confirmation will include the NNO pop-up calendar for picking up caution tape and other supplies for your event.

• Contact a City crime prevention specialist with questions.

Registration closes July 29. Read more about National Night Out and register your block’s event on the City website.
