Pleasant Harbor at Lake Pleasant is sponsoring a water safety awareness event, 10a.m.-3 p.m., May 6.

The event is open to all ages, and special activities will be offered for children and families to increase education and awareness of safety in-and-around the water.

The month of May is officially Water Safety Month with a goal of educating people on the importance of being safe around water.

With its proximity to Phoenix, Lake Pleasant is a popular destination for many Phoenicians who want to cool off. Boating, fishing, swimming, picnicking and water sport activities all create situations where water safety must be top-of-mind.

The event is Free, however, there is a $7 lake entrance fee, per vehicle.
