The two motorcades will link up at Rodman Avenue and Turnpike Road, and continue downtown and through other neighborhoods, ending at Tower Mall.
Entertainment, including singing and dancing, and other activities will be held inside the mall from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Master Police Officer Leon B. Whitehurst plans to group participants into the words ``Portsmouth National Night Out'' so a professional photographer can fly over the Tower Mall parking lot to capture the National Night Out event.
