National Night Out is set for next Tuesday, and has long been a time where neighbors are encouraged to get outside and meet their neighbors.
Several celebrations are planned in the Potomac Communities, including a large celebration held by the Stafford Sheriff’s Office at Stafford Marketplace in North Stafford.
Exhibitors, community organizations, police, fire and rescue as well as county government agencies have all been known to make an appearance at the event.
In Woodbridge, police will not hold a National Night Out party at the Prince William County Government Center as they did in 2010, according to Prince William police’s Facebook page.

Travel to French soil and join us for a night filled with two of the most beloved French traditions—no plane ticket required! ?
On January 25th, we invite you to experience the magic of Galette des Rois, a 700-year-old tradition celebrated across France throughout the entire month of January (and even beyond!). This sweet, almond-filled puff pastry topped with a golden crown isn’t just a treat—it’s a celebration! The lucky person who finds the fève (a porcelain charm hidden in one of the slices) becomes the King or Queen for the Day, and don’t worry—there will be plenty of royalty to go around! ??
But that’s not all! In France, Les Voeux (New Year’s wishes) continue throughout January, often accompanied by Champagne and good cheer. We’re bringing that festive spirit to you, with a lively evening packed with French food, wine, and music.
