About the children's clean water festival
Welcome!
Since we can't come together this year, we've organized a virtual festival for fourth graders across the region to learn about water: where it comes from, where it flows, how we use it, and how we reuse it! Explore any of the lessons we've put together at your own pace, with resources from our partners working with water every step of the way.
About the Children's Clean Water Festival
Started in 1994, the Children’s Clean Water Festival has engaged more than 31,000 students in a day of learning and fun that includes more than 40 hands-on, water-focused activities, classroom presentations, and stage shows.
The goal of the Festival is to teach kids that they are capable of having real, long-lasting, positive impacts on water resources, and to equip them with the information they need to do that in a fun and engaging way.
A committee of partnering agencies provide financial and staff time to coordinate the Festival, and day-of support comes from more than 125 classroom presenters, exhibitors, and community volunteers.
The Clean Water Festival is a community supported event, organized by a group of public, private, and non-profit organizations, all committed to water and environment education in our region. The Children’s Clean Water Festival would not be possible without the generous financial and in-kind support provided by our numerous partners.
