Letter from the Mayor: August 2024

July 30, 2024

As we step into the month of August, I am filled with pride and excitement about the amazing things happening in our city. There is a lot to celebrate, and I am thrilled to share some of the highlights with you.

First and foremost, in July, I had the honor of proclaiming August as Purple Heart Month in the City of Nixa. During this month, I ask that we all take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by our service members. It is important that we honor and support them and their families for their courage and dedication. Let us always remember the price of our freedom and strive to live up to the legacy of those who have given so much for our country.

On August 6th, I encourage everyone to join us for Nixa’s National Night Out. This event is a fantastic opportunity to come out and meet our dedicated Nixa police and fire departments, see real firetrucks and police cars, and enjoy pool activities at the Nixa Aquatics Center! National Night Out is a fun summer activity that fosters community spirit and trust between residents and our first responders. Best of all, it’s FREE to attend!

Looking ahead, we are also gearing up for Nixa’s 3rd Annual Multi-Cultural Festival on September 21st. This event is a vibrant celebration of the many cultures that make up our wonderful community. Join us for an evening of street performers, diverse vendors, and delicious food trucks! The Multi-Cultural Festival is family-friendly and FREE to attend, making it a perfect outing for everyone. These community events are always a great time and offer a wonderful opportunity to meet your Nixa neighbors.

I am incredibly proud of our city and the strong sense of community we share. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in making Nixa such a fantastic place to live! Let’s make this August a memorable month filled with reflection, celebration, and unity.

Sincerely,

Mayor Jarad Giddens
