The Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce and the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office are hosting an opportunity to meet local law enforcement, first responders and your neighbors. The opportunity, a local installment of an event called the National Night Out, goes from 5–10 p.m. on Tuesday, August 6, at Birch Bay Community Park, the undeveloped park on Birch Bay Drive just north of the visitor’s center.
The event aims to promote camaraderie between police and the community, as well as between neighbors.
“The best way to build a safer community is to know your neighbors and your surroundings,” National Night Out’s website reads. “National Night Out triumphs over a culture that isolates us from each other and allows us to rediscover our own communities.”
Local law enforcement and first responders will attend with their vehicles, and the event also includes free hot dogs, face painting and other activities.
Across North America, more than 16,000 communities will participate in National Night Out, according to the organization’s website.
This is the 36th annual National Night Out.
