The Peterborough Children's Water Festival is a beloved educational event in it's 23rd year – thanks to the support of our community partners and local businesses. Your financial contribution supports the opportunity for local students to learn about the importance of water, and how crucial safe clean drinking water is for our future.

Water is life. It sustains our health, our communities, and our planet. Together, we can inspire the next generation to protect and cherish this vital resource — and you can play a key role in making it happen.
With activities designed to inspire curiosity and lasting stewardship, our event brings together educators, conservation groups, industry leaders, and government partners to foster a community that values and protects water.
This year, the festival returns to the Riverview Park and Zoo on May 27th and 28th, welcoming 1400 students, teachers, and volunteers to the scenic banks of the Odenabe/Otonabee River in Nogojiwanong/Peterborough.
