Largo is gearing up to celebrate National Night Out 2012 on Oct. 2.

Citizens and neighborhood groups are invited to join the Largo Police Department, which posted details about the annual celebration on its Facebook page Wednesday.

This year's event takes place from 6-8 p.m on Tuesday, Oct. 2 at two locations:

• The Largo Mall Target, 10500 Ulmerton Rd.
