The East Side Freedom Library invites you to join us for National Night Out on Tuesday, August 3, 2021, 5 – 8PM.

On our beautiful lawn at 1105 Greenbrier Street at 6pm, we will feature a special performance of The Pickup Truck Opera Volume 1: The Odyssey.

National Night Out was introduced in 1984 through a partnership of an established network of community groups, state and local crime prevention associations, local governments, law enforcement agencies, and volunteers across the nation. The first National Night Out involved 2.5 million neighbors across 400 communities. The event has grown to 38 million neighbors across 16 thousand communities and neighborhoods! St. Paul has had a proud tradition of participating in National Night Out. We have finished in 1st place for a city of our size 5 times! In 2019 we set a record in terms of number of events and participation with over 36,000 people participating across the city.

But it’s not the numbers that matter. This is an opportunity get to know our neighbors and build community—especially after such a challenging sixteen months.

Help the East Side Freedom Library celebrate our seventh anniversary!! And celebrate the community spirit and pride we are all building together. Indeed, the nationwide theme for NNO 2021 is “celebrate.” We will provide refreshments, entertainment, activities for kids, information about our resources and our community, and our friends from the Mixed Precipitation Theatre will perform their “Pick-Up Truck Opera” at 6pm!

Free and open to all
Please bring masks and be prepared to follow CDC guidelines
