It’s the first Tuesday of August, and that’s National Night Out.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that strengthens partnerships between law enforcement and the neighborhoods they serve. The event promotes safety, trust, and a greater sense of community.  Millions of people participate each year across all 50 states, U.S. territories, and military bases.

Vincennes residents are invited to celebrate tonight 6 to 8 p.m. at Rainbow Beach in Gregg Park.

The police department is offering free swimming, food, giveaways, and activities for the whole family. The event is open to the public.
