Tonight - August 2: 2016 National Night Out in the Mill District!
Tuesday, August 2, 2016 at 4:42AM
Location: On the Chicago Avenue Mall (between Humboldt Lofts & the Guthrie)
National Night Out is an annual nationwide event that encourages residents to get out in the community, holding block parties and getting to know their neighbors as a way to encourage crime prevention. It's a great way to promote community-police partnerships and enjoy a Minnesota summer evening surrounded by friends and family. For more information, see the Minneapolis NNO mission statement.
Gather with your Mill District neighbors 6:00pm-9:00pm and enjoy:
- Beverages (Day Block and Fulton beers, wine, water and lemonade) and snacks
- Family Fun Zone with the SPARKit trailer sponsored by the Cynthia Froid Group
- Music - Rich Lewis Band
- Izzy Pops compliments of Betsy Lucas
- Food trucks (food for purchase) Chef Shack and Peeps Hot Box
- Community Giving Challenge: Dollars for Diapers for People Serving People. Please bring a few dollars for the diaper fund.
- The City is dropping off two temporary bike racks for block party attendees to use tonight. Feedback is appreciated as we continue to work with the City on temporary bike racks for various events.
