Waterfest is the annual Independence Day event held on the water at Weber Point Events Center in downtown Stockton. Volunteers help to make this event a memorable one for attendees!

Thirty-four volunteers assisted City staff with this year's Waterfest Celebration. The volunteers worked through several community programs: City of Stockton Police Junior Cadets, Police Senior Cadets and Fire Auxiliary, Edison High Key Club, San Joaquin Drug Court Alumni, Stockton Partners and San Joaquin Delta College AmeriCorps.

The Waterfest Volunteers helped locate lost children, monitored the water feature, administered first aid, advised Waterfest goers of the safety rules, helped with children's games, and assisted fire and law enforcement in making this event safe for the community.

The Stockton Police Junior Cadets assist with locating lost children/parents during large events. With thousands of kids and lots of fun stuff for the kids to do, it's easy for the kids to slip away from loved ones. The Junior Cadets help locate the children/parents for a happy reunion.
