Edina Neighborhoods to Celebrate Night to Unite
Edina, Minn., June 14, 2011 – As the first Tuesday of August rolls around, so does Edina’s Night to
Unite. The annual event will take place in neighborhoods and parks around the City on Tuesday, Aug.
2 from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
The Edina Police Department encourages neighborhoods to join forces with communities statewide
for Night to Unite, a national crime prevention event. Neighbors are encouraged to lock their doors,
turn on outside lights and spend the evening outdoors with neighbors.
“I’ve heard residents say they don’t want the night to end,” said Crime Prevention Coordinator Kaylin
Martin in reference to the Night to Unite block parties. “It’s a great opportunity for neighbors to
exchange contact information, build new connections and strengthen old ones.”
Last year, 50 Night to Unite block parties were registered with the City of Edina.
Officers are available to attend parties. However, resources are limited so register early to request an
officer. The deadline to register is Tuesday, July 26.
Night to Unite was created to promote neighborhood spirit, increase awareness in crime prevention
and build a stronger police-community partnership.
To register your block party or for more information, contact Martin at 952-833-9523 or
Kmartin@ci.edina.mn.us. To apply for a block party permit, visit
