EAST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP, NJ — East Windsor’s National Night Out will take place on Tuesday, Aug. 6, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the East Windsor P.A.L. Complex at 30 Airport Road.

National Night Out is an initiative in which people in towns across the country gather at their homes, on their streets and at their local community centers in recognition of their support of the community.
