Join Fremont Police, Fremont Fire, and City of Fremont staff along with community organizations, neighborhood groups, and City leaders in celebrating the 43rd Annual National Night Out (NNO). 

Participate in National Night Out by organizing a block or neighborhood party. National Night Out provides the opportunity for neighbors to get to know each other and sends a strong message to criminals that our community will look out for each other and report suspicious activity in their neighborhood.

Many will organize barbecues or ice cream socials where neighbors share good food, laughter, and updates on what is happening in the neighborhood. Throughout the night, City of Fremont police, fire and other staff will plan to visit registered parties where we can share information, network, and answer questions that community members may have. 

To learn how other communities celebrate National Night Out, visit the National Association of Town Watch online.

Fremont Police, Fremont Fire, and City staff plan to visit NNO parties on the night on Tuesday, August 4, 2026 between the hours of 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. Visits cannot be guaranteed, pending available staffing and any calls for service or critical incidents requiring City resources.  If interested in a visit, you must indicate the request on your registration. If your party is held on another day and not on the official NNO date, unfortunately, a visit cannot be conducted by the City's NNO team. 

The registration deadline is 5:00 p.m. on July 1, 2026, to be considered for a visit. Our goal is to provide each party with one visit from City staff, but it will be dependent upon the number of parties and staff who sign up to participate. A visit cannot be guaranteed, pending available resources, calls for service, or critical incidents on the night of the event.
 
If you plan to block off your street for your celebration, you will need to obtain a block party permit from the City of Fremont by contacting Juliette Setudeh-Nejad at (510) 494-4540 or via email. The deadline to file for a permit is Wednesday, July 1, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. and the cost of the permit is $20. Information regarding the City's block party permit can be found here.

Host Gift Pickup and Logistics

Registered hosts will be contacted approximately 2-3 weeks prior to the event date, and will be invited to pick up a gift and yard sign from the Fremont Police Department prior to the event.

National Night Out Host Information Packet

An information packet for block party hosts will be published in advance of National Night Out. Several of the City of Fremont Departments will prepare flyers to help you and your neighbors learn more about the services Fremont has to offer. Feel free to share and discuss these with your neighbors at your block party.

A list of block parties that are open to the general public will be posted here. 

If your party will be open to the public, email us at fremontpolice@fremont.gov to let us know!
