The free festivities, scheduled from 10 am to Noon, are open to everyone ready to dive into a variety of water-related activities.
Attendees can expect to "Slide into Safety" with a lineup that includes giveaways, a live DJ spinning tunes and offerings of food to keep the energy high. But it's not all play; the event aims to educate, featuring demonstrations vital for teaching the community how to be safe in and around water. Paramount for families and individuals alike, these safety tips could be lifesavers, considering drowning is a leading cause of accidental death.
