WHITEWATER â During this yearâs Whitewater âSpring Splash,â a smaller version of Madisonâs Mifflin Street block party, 79 people were cited or arrested.
But given the ruckus residents may have witnessed over the weekend, police officials say city gatherings were largely under control.
âOverall we think it went well,â said Whitewater Police Chief Aaron Raap.
The annual city-wide party, unsanctioned by city officials and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, took place May 1, drawing thousands to the city for house parties and bar hoping for block party event.
Aside from one gathering the police department estimated to have around 600 people, Raap said weekend turnout was slightly smaller and more manageable than Spring Splash 2019.
