High Notes, Community Night Out set for Oct. 11

The Vestavia Hills Police Department and the Vestavia Hills Fire Department will host its annual Community Night Out together with the Vestavia Hills High Notes Oct. 11.   

Melissa Hipp, assistant to the city manager, said the two events are joining forces to provide a night of music, children’s entertainment and more. 

From 5:30 to about 8 p.m., the Community Night Out will have kids activities and freebies, a remembrance wall, concessions, a police and emergency vehicles expo and outreach for Help the Hills and Project 365.

“Because of the [City Hall] grand opening, Community Night Out took a back seat last year, and so this year the VHPD has been looking forward to presenting what has been a very popular public outreach,” Hipp said. 

The Alabama Symphony Orchestra, with conductor Christopher Confessore, will be featured in concert at 6 p.m on the City Hall Green.

“We just decided to combine both events, and it just seemed to work out pretty well,” said Cpl. Eddie Crim of the Vestavia Hills Police Department.

By including the cultural and musical components of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra along with the Community Night Out, the evening presents a great way for everyone to connect in different areas, organizers said. 

“It’s a way for us to socialize with each other. We’ve got the businesses, the families, the police department, the fire department, City Hall,” Crim said. “It’s just fun. It’s a big social event.”
