IBERIA PARISH — Children in Iberia Parish will get a mid-summer cooldown when St. Edward Church hosts their second annual Splash Bash on Saturday, June 21, from noon to 3:30 p.m. at St. Edward Catholic Church, 175 Ambassador W. Lemelle Dr., New Iberia.
Pastor Don Bernard met up with us right where the fun day is being held to give everyone a first look and bring awareness to the Iberia Parish and surronding communities on the event. It's open to everyone and the goal is to simply give children and families in New Iberia and other locations a safe place to go have some free community fun.
The family-friendly event will feature inflatable water slides, water volleyball and basketball courts, and plenty of snacks and drinks, all at no cost. Organizers say the afternoon aims to blend faith, fellowship, and fun while giving local kids a safe place to beat the heat.
Originally slated for earlier in the month, the bash was pushed back a week after organizers decided to reschedule due to threatening weather.
Last year’s inaugural Splash Bash drew dozens of families, and volunteers now expect an even larger crowd.
How to join: Admission is free and open to children of all ages, but families are encouraged to scan the registration QR code or go here.
Guests should bring a towel, sunscreen and water-friendly attire.
