Back to School Bash- A National Night Out Event
August 5, 2025 6:00pm
Meet the men, women, and K-9s of Sandy Springs who work hard to keep our community safe!
Take a peek inside police cars, fire trucks, the mobile command center, plus the QRF and SWAT trucks. Stand by to watch TWO helicopters land on Mt Vernon Highway (6:15 PM and 7:30 PM) and there’s so much more!
Dance to the DJ, climb the giant inflatable obstacle course and grab a free snow cone, hot dog, and other refreshments. Interact with prehistoric dinosaurs brought to you by Sandy Springs Recreation & Parks.
This free, family-friendly event is hosted by the Sandy Springs Recreation and Parks, Police and Fire Departments.
