Fort Worth plans National Night Out gatherings for Oct. 6

Fort Worth residents can get to know neighbors and local public-safety staff during National Night Out on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026. The Fort Worth Police Department lists the citywide observance for 6 to 9 p.m.

Two free community-center events are also listed for Oct. 6:

Victory Forest Community Center, 3427 Hemphill St., will host Unity on the Block, bringing residents and public-safety partners together.
Thomas Place Community Center, 4237 Lafayette Ave., lists a National Night Out gathering with no registration required.

The available center listings confirm the date but do not provide event-specific hours. Before visiting, call Victory Forest at 817-392-8200 or Thomas Place at 817-392-7427 to confirm their schedules.

Neighborhood organizers can find planning guidance and an event-registration link on the police department's National Night Out page. The department says it will try to visit registered gatherings; an officer visit is not guaranteed.
