As neighborhoods across the country throw block parties and turn on the porch lights on August 7 in a national initiative to make the community connection to public safety, the merchants on MacArthur Avenue have their own plans for National Night Out:

Tuesday, August 7th is National Night Out and the MacArthur Merchants will be hosting an evening of fun events for you and your family!!

The event will be held from 7:30 to around 11:00 pm. with bands outside of Decatur\’s garage, ice cream and kid events in front of The Grotto, as well as outdoor movies in front of Once Upon a Vine and a Cajun Creole Dance demo.
