This free, family-friendly event is part of a nationwide initiative designed to strengthen community relationships and foster partnerships among residents, law enforcement, and first responders.

• Kids’ Corner: Enjoy a petting zoo, face painting, bounce house, “Touch a Truck – Emergency Vehicle Edition,” and photo opportunities with Police and Firefighters.
• Food and Market: Hot dogs from T-Bone Toms, drinks and chips provided by Walmart Kemah, freshly popped popcorn, and a vendor market.
• Resources: Information on disaster preparedness and registration opportunities for the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR).
Chief Garivey emphasized the importance of this annual event: “National Night Out is about building a stronger, safer Kemah by connecting residents with those who serve and protect them. We encourage everyone to join us for an evening of community, safety, and fun.”
The City of Kemah Police Department, Fire Department, and local partners are proud to host this event, which has become a tradition nationwide since 1984.
