National Night Out is an annual event that takes place across American, meant to get neighbors together for a night of camaraderie and community.
Editor's Note - In previous years, a select team of Mill District residents organized what grew to be huge a gathering on the Chicago Mall. However, with the continual addition of new condos and apartments, one ginormous celebration is no longer feasible. The planning committee has disbanded, and smaller gatherings are encouraged.
This year, we are very grateful to Luke Kleckner of Re/Max, Waterstone Mortgage and The Legacy for sponsoring a more laid back event in Gold Medal Park. Meet the people of our Gold Medal Park neighborhood while enjoying root beer floats, snacks and other refreshments, plus caricatures for the kids!
Time: 7:00pm
Location: St. Anthony Main Theatre, 115 Main Street SE
