As summer swings into high gear, the Minnetonka community gears up for its annual Night to Unite celebration. Slated for the evening of Tuesday, Aug. 6, from 6-9 p.m., this event serves up a prime opportunity for neighbors to connect and foster a safer, more connected community.
According to a recent announcement by the City of Minnetonka, the Minnetonka Police Department, alongside the Minnetonka Crime Prevention Association, is inviting residents to register their block parties. Engaging with local law enforcement and other city officials is a key highlight of the event, however, visits from these community leaders are not guaranteed, residents must sign up for their gathering to possibly receive this special attention.
Adding a competitive twist to the festivities this year, the Minnetonka Police Department is throwing a photo contest into the mix. Residents are encouraged to capture candid moments with their officers during the night’s revelries. “We ♥ Our Officers” is the call to action, aiming to spotlight the community's bond with its local protectors.
Those looking to host a party can access registration and find a host of party planning tools on the Minnetonka city website. The registration process is important, as it opens the door to potential visits by distinguished guests from the Minnetonka Police and Fire departments, Public Works, and other city officials, setting the scene for an engaging and educational night under the suburban stars.
