We're back! The 29th annual Children's Water Education Festival, the largest of its kind in the United States, will be held April 15-16, 2026 at the Oak Canyon Park. The award-winning event is presented by the Orange County Water District (OCWD).

The Festival presents a unique opportunity to educate third, fourth and fifth grade students about local water issues and the environment. Since its inception, more than 158,000 Orange County students have experienced the Festival and all it has to offer.

The Festival is provided at no cost to Orange County schools. Hosting an event of this magnitude is made possible by many generous sponsors, presenters and dedicated volunteers. We are proud to work with such committed organizations and individuals each year.
