2025 National Night Out

Salisbury will celebrate local community agencies, neighborhoods and law enforcement partnerships at a combined Back-to-School Community Resource Fair and National Night Out event, Tuesday, Aug. 5, beginning at 6 p.m. at Bell Tower Green. Food will be served.

The Community Resource Fair brings together local agencies specializing in health, addiction, education and family support in one place to help local families as students head back to school. Students will receive backpacks with a selection of school supplies. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Backpacks will be provided while supplies last. Information on senior services will be available also.

Salisbury Police officers will participate in National Night Out activities in Salisbury neighborhoods and at Bell Tower Green.

Founded in 1984 by the National Association of Town Watch, National Night Out is an annual campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and builds neighborhood camaraderie.
