Reminder: Splash Festival scheduled to drop May 10

A free, fun, family event at The Crossings at Corona

The Splash Festival will rain down on the western portion of Riverside County Saturday, May 10 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Crossings at Corona. This event, going into year three, is held with the spirit of being water-wise and going green during Water Awareness Month. This free, fun and educational event, hosted by a half dozen water agencies and other community organizations, offers hands-on water and environmental-related activities for kids and adults alike. The Corona Police Department will finger print children who complete a water-wise coloring picture.

Festival attendees will also have the chance to do a variety of water and energy conservation activities including: Make a Water Conservation Bracelet, Take a Toss in the Water-waster Windup, Spin the Energy Wheel, Face Painting With Water-wise Bug, Get Finger Printed and Learn About Water Safety. After successfully completing the activities, children will receive a wonderful water-wise surprise.

Children and adults alike will be delighted to learn about conservation and meet fun event characters – Drippy the Water Drop, Fancy Fin and Bulb Man.
