About the Water Festival
Water festivals consist of multiple structured learning stations where students actively engage in hands-on water activities and investigations. Once each year, approximately 1,800 fourth- and fifth-grade students from Auburn, Kent and Federal Way schools attend the event and experience hands-on activities covering water conservation, water supply, ground and surface water and the water cycle. Since its inception in 2000, the festival has educated more than 16,000 local students and is the largest such festival in the state.
