TUCSON, Ariz. — For many students across Tucson, Thursday was the last day of school . On the Southside , David Garcia wanted to continue his work with Barrio Restoration by giving kids the opportunity to start summer break with a splash. That's why he hosted the third annual Barrio Fiesta de Agua.
“As a kid, on the last day of school, you had to have water balloons, you had to go to the park to go celebrate. And it doesn't happen to often on this side of town," said Garcia."So I'm just reliving my childhood and it brings joy to the whole community.” “I remember my childhood memories, actually doing this in my hometown. So I was able to luckily take the day off, and spend the day with my kids,” she said.
A sign-in sheet was included at the event for attendees to share their names, their neighborhoods, and what improvements they would like to see. Garcia said he wants to invest in all Southside neighborhoods, not just the Fairgrounds.
