The 2015 National Night Out brought out North End / Waterfront neighbors, Boston Police and local officials to the Prado (Paul Revere Mall) on Tuesday evening. Held in cooperation with North End Family Pride Week, Mayor Marty Walsh spoke at the event, joined by Police Commissioner William Evans and many of his command from local District A-1. A highlight was the presentation by District A-1 Captain Kenneth Fong of a Community Service Award to David Marx for his work as North End Public Safety Committee Chair.
National Night Out is a country-wide program that cultivates and strengthens partnerships among the community, youth, police, city agencies and community–based organizations. Many community groups and organizations setup tables in the Prado for the party with free food and music by DJ Sal. A traditional candle lighting ceremony capped off North End National Night Out at the Prado fountain.
