Celebrate summer, and get to know your neighbors.
Night to Unite is an annual event put on by neighborhoods to connect local public safety representatives, like police officers and firefighters, with members of the community and for neighbors to get to know each other in a casual setting.
“It really helps strengthen those neighborhood connections,” says Elizabeth Owens, community relations specialist and a coordinator of Night to Unite.
Each event is put on by the individual neighborhoods in order to personalize the experience for everyone. “It’s a really great opportunity for city members to meet our community where they are at,” Owens says. “It’s a great way to help build those relationships.”
Block parties may include a potluck-style meal, grilled foods or outdoor activities like cornhole, jump rope, sidewalk chalk and bubbles. To find your local neighborhood Night to Unite, visit woodburymn.gov.
