Seventh Annual Tenafly Community Night Out Sept. 17

TENAFLY, N.J.—Tenafly residents are invited to attend the seventh annual “Tenafly Community Night” on Tuesday, Sept. 17, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

“The purpose of the event is to encourage residents to come out on a weekday night to meet and interact with local emergency services personnel and members of the Tenafly business community,” the borough said. “Residents will have the opportunity to see close-up some of the equipment used by public safety personnel, including patrol cars, fire trucks, firefighting gear, ambulances and the equipment carried to calls. 

Attendees will also receive preventative measures, tips and instructions to address some of the problems that affect residents such as burglaries, thefts, scams, false alarms, accidental fires, basic first aid tips, etc. The Tenafly Recreation Department is partnering with the police to provide amusements for the children at the event. 

The Tenafly Department of Public Works will assist the organizers with the set-up and breakdown of the various activity areas. The event will take place in front of the emergency services complex on Riveredge Road between Foster and Tenafly roads. Since this is primarily an outdoor event, a rain date of Thursday, Sept. 19, 2019, has been set in case of inclement weather. Parking will be limited in the immediate area, so plan accordingly to attend the event. 

“Community Night has now become a tradition in Tenafly. As the summer winds down, Community Night brings our town together offering something for everyone, from young families to seniors,” said Mayor Peter Rustin. “Please join us on Tuesday, Sept. 17th from 5 to 8 p.m. in front of the police and fire stations.”
