What to expect at Norwalk's National Night Out festivities

Norwalk is hosting National Night Out this Wednesday on the City Hall lawn in conjunction with a summer concert performance by two-time Grammy Award-winning Mariachi Divas.

Norwalk's Department of Public Safety and Norwalk Sheriff’s Station are co-sponsoring the event.

“National Night Out” is an annual event intended to bring communities across America together to take a stand against crime, drugs and disorder in their neighborhoods. The two-time Grammy Award winning Mariachi Divas -- a multi-cultural, all female mariachi ensemble -- will perform.

Each August, millions of residents across the country come together to strengthen neighborhood spirit, support local crime prevention and build police-community partnerships to enhance safety and improve quality of life.

This year, Norwalk has collaborated with local agencies, including the LA County Fire Department, Metropolitan State Hospital, LA County Sheriff’s Department, California Highway Patrol, Helpline Youth Counseling, Cerritos College Police Department, and local military forces, to provide safety and crime prevention resources to residents.

Special appearances will be made by “McGruff” the crime fighting dog and Public Safety’s “Rocky the Raccoon,” and parents will have the opportunity to have their children fingerprinted by Public Safety Cadets.

Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to the concert. Refreshments will be available for purchase. For more information, please call 562-929-5702.
