The Bridgton Police Department is in the process of planning our National Night Out event for 2022. The event will be held at the Memorial School on Tuesday August 8th from 5-8pm. Any local businesses wishing to participate or collaborate in any capacity or for more information can contact Grace directly at 647-8815 or via email ggendron@bridgtonmaine.org

The purpose of National Night Out is to promote strong Police-Community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie. This event takes place in communities across the Country every year on the first Tuesday in August since 1984. This year Bridgton will be joining over 38 million neighbors across 16 thousand communities from all 50 states, we could not be more excited for this opportunity!

However, in the Summer we will hold multiple After Hours, in September, we hold it on the third Thursday due to Brewfest occurring the following weekend. In November, we also have it on the third Thursday due to Thanksgiving. Our “After Hours” program was developed to provide our members with the opportunity for socializing, networking, and getting to know each other. Please note all of the above dates and make plans to join us at each location, hosted by a fellow Chamber member, from 5 PM to 7 PM.
