HOBOKEN, NJ — Kids and adults alike had a blast at National Night Out at Church Square Park last Tuesday. Unlike most local cities that hosted three-hour events, Hoboken’s event ran from 5 to 9 p.m., offering demonstrations, food, rides, games and giveaways. Everything was free.
National Night is described as “an annual community-building campaign that promotes
police-community associations and neighborhood camaraderie”.
Tuesday’s event was hosted by the Hoboken Police Department and the Stevens Campus Police Department.
