Thousands of residents will enjoy live music, great food, rides, carnival games, Lower Merion Police, Fire and Narberth Ambulance, roving entertainment, safety information and displays from many area non-profits and businesses.

This is the "39th Annual National Night Out," which has already involved millions of people from 16,500 communities across the country from all 50 states.

National Night Out creator, Matt Peskin of Wynnewood, will be at the Lower Merion event tonight.

NNO is designed to: (1) Heighten crime prevention awareness; (2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs; (3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and (4) Send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Parking will be available throughout the Wynnewood Shopping Center. Learn more about National Night Out at nno.org. Please also visit LMCommunityWatch.org.
