Thank you to everyone who made the 29th Annual Children's Water Education Festival a success! Held April 15-16, 2026 at Oak Canyon Park, the largest event of its kind in the United States brought together third, fourth, and fifth grade students from across Orange County for two days of hands-on water and environmental education.

The Festival provided a unique hands-on opportunity for students to explore science and local water topics. Since its inception, more than 163,000 Orange County students have experienced everything the Festival has to offer.

Offered at no cost to Orange County schools, this event is made possible by the generosity of our sponsors, presenters, and dedicated volunteers. We are deeply grateful to the committed organizations and individuals who made the 29th Annual Festival possible - thank you for helping us inspire the next generation of water stewards.
