Opelika’s National Night Out (NNO) will be held on Tuesday, October 6, 2026. This community event will be held in Courthouse Square from 5:00 PM-7:00 PM.

National Night Out is an Annual Community-Building Campaign, to raise awareness on the following topics: Public Safety, Crime Prevention, Health, Education and Youth Programs. It will be a mandatory requirement for all vendors to indicate on the application how they will promote one of these topics.

The application for booth space is enclosed and we ask that you read the Vendor Information carefully and fill it out completely before submitting it to NNO. Vendor’s explanation of how one of NNO’s five main topics will be supported will play a large part in entry approval. You will be notified no later than September 21, 2026, as to whether you have been approved as a vendor for NNO. There is no electricity or water in the park area. All applications will be reviewed by the NNO committee. No selling of goods is permitted. Vendors may display goods with information to purchase after the event.

Application deadline for vendors is September 18, 2026.
