NNO is celebrated annually, and depending on local tradition and/or scheduling constraints, traditionally on the first Tuesday of either August or October. This year, Winston-Salem's 2022 celebration will take place on Tuesday, October 4.  National Night Out is a community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, better places to live.  Neighbors participate across thousands of communities from all 50 states, United States territories, Canada and military bases worldwide.
