By Santee Pulse Staff · Published June 16, 2026 · 2 min read

Santee families have several city-listed activities to choose from this weekend, starting with the Santee Firefighters Fishing Derby at Santee Lakes on Saturday, June 20, according to the City of Santee event calendar.

The fishing derby is scheduled for 6 a.m. Saturday at Santee Lakes, in the Lakes 3 and 4 area near 9310 Fanita Parkway. Later that morning, Santee Swim Day is scheduled for 10 a.m. at the Cameron Family YMCA, 10123 Riverwalk Drive.

The weekend lineup continues Sunday, June 21, with the Father's Day Patriotic Mural Mosaic Painting activity at Santee City Hall, Building 7. The city calendar lists the mural event for 10 a.m.

For residents trying to keep kids busy at the start of summer, the cluster of events puts two major Santee gathering spots -- Santee Lakes and the YMCA -- in play on the same day. Families should check the city calendar before heading out for any updates on times, location details or event requirements.
