On this date also, all Township of Nutley Municipal Buildings will be illuminated in red in an effort to bring further awareness to this initiative.

In recognition of National Wear Red Day, on Friday, February 3, 2023, all municipal buildings will be illuminated in RED, under the direction of Commissioner Mauro Tucci and the Nutley Department of Parks and Public Property.
