Bangor is one of 15,000 communities nationwide participating tonight.

The Bangor Police Department will be hosting their annual National Night Out tonight (8/4) from 5:30-8PM at Stillwater Park on Howard Street. The nation wide event aims to strengthen relationships with communities and law enforcement. It's also designed to boost crime and drug prevention awareness.

If you can't make it to the park you can still show support by turning on your porch lights between 6-8PM.
