2023 National Night Out

Mayor Gary Christenson joined Malden Police, Malden Fire and members of the community at Macdonald Stadium for National Night Out – an evening of fun, food, games, sharing of community resources, and much more. Community groups, such as Malden Overcoming Addiction, RESPOND, the Malden Human Rights & Fair Housing Commission and the Malden Disability Commission, were on hand to inform residents about the services they provide.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to help make our neighborhoods safer places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community – bringing police and neighbors together under positive circumstances. Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide on the first Tuesday of August. Neighborhoods host block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and various other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits and much more.
