National Night Out At Dansby Park Aug. 4

     On Tuesday, August 4th, 2026, the City of Decatur, the Coalition of Neighborhood Organizations (CONO), along with its National Night Out (NNO) committee are inviting all residents to join us for the 43rd Annual National Night Out event at Dansby Park, 2230 W Center Street, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm.
     NNO is an annual community-building campaign that promotes strong police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live and work. Together, we are making that happen.
     A special award will be given to recognize a deserving Neighborhood Ambassador.
     This year’s theme is “Stronger, Safer Together.” This FREE family event will include food, lawn/yard games, foam party, prizes, face painting, bounce house, a “touch-a-truck” display, mobile zoo, DJ, along with local officials, police, fire, and much more.
     The NNO campaign involves local government officials, not-for-profit organizations, citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, and neighborhood organizations. Over 17,000 communities around the U.S. will host block parties, cookouts, parades, flashlight walks, contests, and youth activities. In all, over 38 million people are expected to participate in “America’s Night Out against Crime”.
