Aurora 'Moving Forward, Moving Together' with National Night Out Aug. 3

Neighbors all over Aurora are coming together for the first time in two years to celebrate National Night Out 2021 on Tuesday, Aug. 3.

National Night Out culminates annually on the first Tuesday in August in an effort to enhance the relationship between neighbors, public safety officials and city officials while focusing on strengthening a true sense of community.

Aurora's National Night Out events are held in various neighborhoods throughout each of the city's ten wards. Each celebration encourages residents to come outside and spend the evening getting to know their neighbors, community partners, public safety, elected and city officials.

This year, the event will recognize the reopening of two community centers to the Grand Blvd. Center and the Aurora Township Youth Center- during their respective National Night Out events
