DIXON, CA (MPG) - Mark your calendars for Oct. 7.

The Dixon Police Department is excited to host National Night Out 2025 from 5 to 8 p.m. Oct. 7.

National Night Out is an annual celebration of community, connection and public safety.

This year, Dixon is joining other Solano County law enforcement agencies in shifting the festivities from August to October, beating the heat and making it more comfortable for families and first responders alike.

The move aligns with National Association of Town Watch guidelines, which allow communities throughout the country flexibility in hosting their events in either August or October, depending on the local climate.

National Night Out is a free, family-friendly evening that brings neighbors together with the people who serve their community.

Past National Night Out events have included food trucks and treats, live music and games, emergency vehicle tours, police and fire demos and giveaways for all ages.

Whether you're new to town or a lifelong resident, National Night Out is an opportunity to connect with Dixon's Police officers, firefighters, city staff and most importantly, each other. 

Neighborhood leaders, HOAs (homeowner associations) and community groups are encouraged to get involved by hosting their own block party or pop-up activity. It's a great way to build local connections and show pride in your corner of Dixon.

Applications to host a National Night Out event are available now at dixonpoliceca.gov/nationalnightout.

Let's make this a night to remember with cooler weather, stronger neighborhoods and a safer, more connected Dixon.
