One local National Night Out took place on City Island for the first time. The annual event promotes connections between local communities and their first responders. City of Harrisburg residents and community members in Lower Allen Township got to meet police officers, firefighters, and EMTs during family-friendly activities and games and there were food booths too, Aug. 1, 2023.
“We oftentimes are so busy that we don’t have enough time to be able to extend ourselves in our regular duties,” said Chardan Huston, Director of Community Relations and Engagement for the Harrisburg Bureau of Police. “This is an opportunity to be able to do that and engage with our community, to show them who we are and what we look like, and be able to interact in a safe environment.”
The City of Harrisburg decided to hold this year’s festival on City Island because National Night Out has grown over the last few years, and City Island has the size, parking, and public transit accessibility to accommodate a growing event, according to Director Huston.
