San Marcos Gearing Up For National Night Out

During National Night Out, neighborhoods host porch-sitting and “lights on” areas and sponsor special events such as block parties, cookouts, parades, visits from law enforcement, rallies and marches.

San Marcos residents are invited to participate in the 2018 National Night Out (NNO) on Tuesday, Oct. 2, by visiting with neighbors, police officers, EMS personnel, firefighters, and City officials to advance crime prevention in the community.

Registration is open until Sept. 24 for neighborhoods wishing to participate. Information and registration forms can be found online at www.sanmarcostx.gov/nno.

People with questions about NNO events in their neighborhood should contact their neighborhood representative.
