America's night out against crime
August 3, 2021
We are planning for small neighborhood gatherings for this year's National Night Out (subject to change based on directives from the State of Oregon and the Oregon Health Authority for Multnomah County, which we will follow).
All events must be registered by Wednesday, July 28 to be included on the final event list.
Find your neighborhood
Organize a National Night Out event in your Gresham neighborhood, or plan to attend one for fun.
This event, celebrated in Gresham and around the U.S. in thousands of communities, helps make communities safe and raise awareness about anti-crime programs.
