Posted onAuthorNorthEndWaterfront.comComments Off on All Welcome to National Night Out and Neighborhood Block Party, Tuesday August 1st, 6pm on the Prado
National Night Out in the North End is one of the largest of the neighborhood gatherings with fun and festivities for all on the Prado (Paul Revere Mall).
Helping to strengthen partnerships between the community and Boston Police, dozens of community groups and organizations setup tables in the Prado for a neighborhood block party with free food and music.
North End Against Drugs (NEAD), sponsored by Eversource, organizes the celebration in cooperation with North End Family Pride Week.
A traditional candle lighting ceremony caps off North End National Night Out at the Prado fountain with dry ice creating a cool smoke effect.
