Gear up for Snellville's newest fun, family event on May 19, and get a chance for a free cruise.

Snellville city and community leaders continue to find new ways for everyone to get together for a little bit of fun.

The Snellville Beach Blast kicks off on May 19, and the proceeds from the spring event go to benefit the Snellville Citizen's Police Academy Alumni and the Snellville Rotary Club, according to Snellville Tourism & Trade's website.

Event organizers also will be raffling off a five-night Caribbean cruise for two on Carnival Cruise Lines. Tickets can be purchased for $10 at the event or through any member of the Snellville Citizens Police Academy Alumni or the Snellville Rotary Club. The drawing will be at 5:30 p.m., and you have to be present to win.

There will be an afternoon of fun in the sun, complete with sand and music. Before the beach blast gets started, registered participants will participate in either a 5K or 10K. There also will be a one-mile fitness fun run for children, who will get goodie bags.

The run winds through Briscoe Park and surrounding neighborhoods. Registration is now open, and before the even, the cost is $20-$25 per person.
