The Belleville Police Department, Mayor Michael Melham and the Township Council are planning a night of family, fun and food to celebrate a nationwide event aimed at strengthening ties between police officers and the neighborhoods they serve.
All residents are invited to National Night Out 2023 at Municipal Stadium on Tuesday, Aug. 1 from 5-9 p.m.
There will be music, games and bouncy rides, plus a touch-a-truck experience that will allow children of all ages to see some amazing equipment up close.
Food trucks will be serving up delicious treats for sale and more than 20 vendors will also be on hand.
National Night Out in Belleville will be capped by a special fly-over by a New Jersey State Police Helicopter.
“We are so excited to make this the biggest National Night Out celebration we’ve ever had in Belleville,” Melham said. “This is the perfect opportunity for families to come out, enjoy fun music, great food and spend time with friends, new and old. Most of all, it is the ideal setting to connect with the brave men and women of the Belleville Police Department – the ones who keep us safe and secure each and every day.”
National Night Out has grown exponentially since its beginnings in the 1970s in a Philly suburb, where neighbors observed the night by sitting out in front of their homes with their porch lights on.
