Neighborhood Night Out

The Neighborhood Night Out Event features multiple parties that take place in neighborhoods across Wichita on the same evening. The parties are voluntary and are hosted by citizens. They are designed to help citizens get to know their neighbors.

Neighborhood Night Out is always held the second Tuesday in August. We suggest a time of 5:30 - 9pm. The citizens hosting the parties will determine the exact time and location.

This is a fun event designed to help you meet other residents in your neighborhood as well as members of the Wichita Police Department (WPD) officers and Wichita Fire Department (WFD) who serve your area. Knowing your neighbors can promote safety and prevent crime in your area.

Yes, every party must be registered in order to be a part of the event. At the end of the registration deadline, a list of every neighborhood party will be compiled and sent to the Wichita City Council, Wichita Fire Department and the Wichita Police Department.

No, the citizens hosting the party will determine the size and type of party it will be. Large or small, potluck, block parties, neighborhood cleanups, barbeques and ice cream socials are a few ideas.

We suggest you create a flyer for the party to promote it and provide the details associated with your party. Most Neighborhood Associations have monthly meetings and you may be able to have your party promoted during that time.

No, the City will not provide funding for these parties. You can check with your Neighborhood Association to see if it will provide funding.

They will try to attend as many parties as possible throughout the night, but there is no guarantee they will have time to attend all of the parties. They will only visit registered parties, so please make sure to register.

Yes, but the idea behind the event is to get to know the members of your neighborhood. If you don't currently have a registered neighborhood party, we suggest you create and register your own.
