Atlantic City’s National Night Out Connects First Responders and Families

In Atlantic City, summer is more than just a season of sunshine, it’s a time for neighbors to connect, families to make memories, and the entire city to honor those who keep our community safe. Through events like National Night Out, Atlantic City continues to show what makes it a strong and united place to live, work, and grow.

Each year, National Night Out brings together residents, first responders, and community partners for an evening of celebration and connection. From music and food to games and educational activities, the event creates space for people of all ages to engage with those who protect and serve—building relationships rooted in trust and respect.

A City That Honors Service
Led by the City of Atlantic City and supported by dedicated partners like the Atlantic City Police Department, Atlantic City Professional Firefighters, Atlantic City Office of Emergency Management, and organizations such as Atlantic City PBA Local #24, NJ FMBA Local 8, and Atlantic City Police Foundation, the event is a heartfelt tribute to the brave men and women who serve on the front lines every day.

More Than an Event—It’s a Statement
National Night Out is about community. It’s about showing that public safety starts with strong relationships and mutual understanding. Events like these remind residents that their voice matters and that they play a role in shaping a safer, more inclusive Atlantic City.
