The Cities of Northglenn, Thornton and Westminster, are pleased to ‘Welcome Back’ the annual Water Festival! After two years off, we are excited to offer your class an in-person Water Festival for 2023. This science conference focuses on water in our world and other sustainability topics. While planned for fifth grade classes, fourth grade classes may attend if the festival curriculum is appropriate. Only one grade per school can attend, please.
The Water Festival is a fun, educational experience for students, teachers, and parents. The Water Festival is scheduled for Thursday, May 18, 2023 at Front Range Community College in Westminster. The partner Cities are covering the cost of the Water Festival and bus transportation, making it easy to attend! We would welcome your participation if this date doesn’t conflict with other end-of-year activities.
The Water Festival will engage students with topics including water conservation, history of Colorado water law, water chemistry, the water cycle, local water systems, weather, music, aquatic wildlife, and ecology. Students will have fun with hands-on activities while learning about local and global water issues.
Space is limited and early registration is recommended.

Please register online by December 9, 2022. Due to the popularity of the Water Festival, participating schools will be selected from all those who register, and we can only accommodate 1,000 students. Selected schools will receive a confirmation email by winter break in December.
We look forward to spending this day with you! Water resources are of vital importance to our region and the future of our children.
