An annual event builds community across the city.
Minnetonka’s Night to Unite is planned for 5:30 to 9 p.m. August 5 throughout the city. For more than 20 years, the event continues to promote uniting the community through neighborhood gatherings.
Sponsored by the Minnetonka Police Department and the Minnetonka Crime Prevention Association, the event features gatherings across Minnetonka neighborhoods and range from neighborly potlucks to celebrations with bouncy houses and other family-focused attractions.
Additional features include visits from members of the Minnetonka Police Department to encourage civic engagement between residents and first responders, according to Jessica Case, Minnetonka’s Police Department communication specialist.
There can also be a philanthropic element to the events. Last year, Night to Unite held a ResourceWest Back to School donation contest. With more than 140 different parties, community members collected nearly 1,300 school supply items. Find information about this year’s philanthropic effort at minnetonkamn.gov.
