Hermantown Set for City-Wide National Night Out Celebration
Hermantown, Minn. – Hermantown will host a city-wide National Night Out celebration on Tuesday, August 3, 2021. The event, hosted by both the Hermantown Police Department and Hermantown Volunteer Fire Department, features a variety of family-friendly events and is an alcohol-free celebration.
The event will run from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Hermantown’s Governmental Services Building at 5111 Maple Grove Road, which is home to HVFD’s Fire Hall #1 and the HPD headquarters, as well as City Hall.
There will be music and food for Hermantown residents, as well as fundraiser opportunities supporting the Hermantown Parent/Teacher Organization and a blood drive hosted by Memorial Blood Centers.
The HPD moved to a city-wide event in 2019, as local neighborhood events became too numerous for officers to spend meaningful time with Hermantown residents. The success of the new event prompted a continuation in 2020, but COVID-19 led to its cancellation last year.
“This is a wonderful event for residents to come and meet members of our police department and our volunteer firefighters,” said Joe Wicklund, Hermantown’s Community Engagement and Communications Director. “Building those personal connections, which has always been an important focus of National Night Out, is valuable for residents and for the members of the HPD and HVFD.”
