Children's Water Festival

Watch the 2021 Virtual Festival Recordings!

The Dayton Children’s Water Festival is an annual, educational science field-trip for 4th-grade students offering a series of interactive presentations on water themes that encourage students to become life-long stewards.
Started in 1997 by the City of Dayton Department of Water, the festival has reached over 43,000 Dayton-area students.
A multi-organization planning committee, sponsors, presenters, and many volunteers make this free event possible!
Each year, we are proud to work with organizations and individuals who are committed to the environment and the region’s water resources.
