The Colonies community is gearing up for a night of friendship, safety, and fun as National Night Out returns on Saturday, October 4, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Colonies Neighborhood Center, located at 15003 Yorktown Colony Dr, Houston, TX 77084.

This year’s celebration will feature a free community swim party at the neighborhood pool, along with food and drinks served in the park—giving families a chance to relax, enjoy time together, and meet the people who help keep their community safe.

What is National Night Out?

Launched in 1984 by the National Association of Town Watch, National Night Out is a nationwide event that takes place each October to strengthen the bond between residents, neighborhoods, and local law enforcement. The evening encourages families to turn on their porch lights, step outside, and connect with neighbors while fostering a greater sense of unity and awareness around public safety.

Today, millions of people across thousands of communities take part in the event every year. For neighborhoods like The Colonies, it’s more than just a fun evening—it’s an opportunity to build stronger ties, meet local officers and first responders, and create a safer, more connected place to call home.

A Night to Celebrate Community

Whether families come for the pool party, the food, or simply the chance to catch up with friends, this year’s National Night Out promises to be a meaningful way for The Colonies to come together.

Residents are encouraged to mark their calendars and bring their families out for this special evening of connection, safety, and community spirit.
