National Night Out 2024- Martinez Waterfront Park

You're invited to meet your neighbors and some of our finest local law enforcement and first responders as part of National Night Out at the Martinez Waterfront Park.

National Night Out gatherings have plenty of eating, chatting with neighbors and children playing. And the chance to talk informally with police officers is an integral part of the event, which is rooted in crime prevention.

The event is free, and all are welcome!

This year, the Martinez Education Foundation will benefit from this fundraising event.

Several first responders will be at the event, including Martinez Police Department, Contra Costa Fire Protection District, American Medical Response, East Bay Parks Regional Police, the California Highway Patrol, and the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff.

* Dance to The Eagles music by the Midnight Flyer Band

The introduction of National Night Out, “America’s Night Out Against Crime,” in 1984 began an effort to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
