LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — From MacArthur Park to War Memorial, the Southwest Community Center to West Central Community Center, neighbors across Little Rock gathered Tuesday night to celebrate National Night Out — a decades-old tradition focused on community, connection and safety.

The annual event brought families, city leaders, and first responders together for an evening of food, fun, and conversation.

While the atmosphere was lighthearted, the message behind it carried weight, fostering trust and understanding between residents and the police.

“It’s about neighbors getting back to being neighborly,” said City Director Andrea Lewis, who represents Ward 6. “Really getting to know each other and understanding who we are.”
