National Night Out is a community building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships. Locally, National Night Out is sponsored by the Albuquerque Police Department, the Crime Prevention Unit, and the Office of Neighborhood Coordination. From the city website:

Objectives of National Night Out include:

  • Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness;
  • Generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime efforts;
  • Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police/community partnerships;
  • Renew old acquaintances and establish new friendships by getting to know your neighbor; and
  • Send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

The annual Route 66 Summerfest will once again take place in Nob Hill on Saturday, July 21 from 3-10 p.m. The event will take place on Central Ave. in between Girard Blvd. and Washington Street.

Route 66 Summerfest has something for everyone. There are three different music stages including national headliners Irma Thomas, the Mother Road Artisan Market, and plenty of fun for the kids at the Kid Zone. In addition to the great restaurants in the Nob Hill area, there will be a variety of food trucks serving up their tasty treats.

Central between Girard and Washington will be closed at midnight on Saturday, July 21 (Friday night) and will remain closed until approximately 3 a.m. on Sunday, July 22.

Please anticipate a high volume of traffic in the area.
