The City of Whitewater, in partnership with the Whitewater Police Department, Whitewater Fire Department, Whitewater Parks and Recreation, and Generac, is excited to announce the first-ever School Supply Festival. This event will be held on
August 15th from 5-7 pm at Cravath Lakefront Park, with the primary goal of supporting local families by distributing essential school supplies to children in need.

Understanding the financial challenges faced by many in our community, this festival aims to assist families to equip local children with the necessary tools for a successful school year. School supplies will be distributed from 5-7 pm, providing much-needed assistance to families (While Supplies Last).

The festival will also feature a variety of activities for children and families to enjoy. The Whitewater Police Department will host a Bike Rodeo from 5-6pm, where children can have their bikes checked to ensure they are in good working condition, learn the rules of the road, participate in bike skills activities, and receive a bike helmet while supplies last.

From 5-7 pm, the Whitewater Parks Department will present a Touch-A-Truck program, giving children the chance to explore different vehicles and equipment they see on the roads of Whitewater. Additionally, there will be yard games for all to enjoy.

Attendees are encouraged to stay for the Thursday Night Concert in the Park, featuring “Ladies Must Swing,” from 7-8 pm.
