This free community event begins at 6:00 p.m. and will feature an exciting exhibition baseball game between the CMPD (Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department) and the CFD (Charlotte Fire Department).

The event serves as the official kickoff to National Night Out, the nationwide campaign that strengthens relationships between law enforcement, first responders, and the communities they serve.

Admission is free, and families of all ages are encouraged to attend. In addition to the baseball game, food and drinks will also be offered for free.
