City of Dayton - Children's Water Festival

The Children's Water Festival

The festival is a one-day event for 1,800 students from the 4th grade level that offers a series of continuous 25-minute presentations on groundwater, surface water, conservation, land use, and other water related topics, various games, experiments, exhibits, and entertainment.

The day is filled with fun and memorable activities designed to contain factual and unbiased information to encourage the adoption of sound environmental values and the desire to assume positive life-long stewardship roles.

The activities challenge the children's minds through the use of hands-on activities, as well as increase their ability to apply the knowledge gained at the festival to their everyday lives.
