Lower Merion's National Night Out Festival

Tonight, the vibrant community of Lower Merion will come together to celebrate the annual National Night Out (NNO) festival. This beloved event promotes community spirit and crime prevention awareness, and it's scheduled to take place from 6 PM to 9 PM in the rear of the Wynnewood Shopping Center, located at 50 E. Wynnewood Road.

Recognized for its role in fostering partnerships between local law enforcement and residents, the festival will attract thousands of attendees eager to enjoy an evening filled with live music, delectable food, and a variety of engaging activities. Families can anticipate exhilarating rides and carnival games that promise fun for all ages.

Additionally, the event serves as a platform for residents to meet and interact with local heroes including the Lower Merion Police, Fire Department, and Narberth Ambulance services. Families will have the opportunity to gather safety information, engage with numerous area nonprofits, and learn about their services. Roving entertainers will add to the festive atmosphere, ensuring that everyone has a memorable experience.

This year marks the 42nd Annual National Night Out, which unites millions across 16,500 communities nationwide. As a national campaign, NNO aims to heighten community awareness about crime prevention and encourage public participation in local antipathy crime efforts.

Matt Peskin, the founder of National Night Out, will also be present at the event, celebrating its impact on communities across the country.

The initiative aims to promote four core goals:
1. Enhance awareness of crime prevention.
2. Foster support for local anti-crime programs.
3. Strengthen neighborhood spirit and connections with law enforcement.
4. Send a clear message to criminals that communities are organized and united.
