The Water Festival is collaborating with 2 other simultaneous events at adjacent venues, which have had the positive effect of increasing event awareness when they first joined our Festival location last year. Cyclovia is a 5 mile loop of car-free streets filled with family-friendly activities that attracted over 10,000 participants last year from throughout the region and is expecting up to twice as many this year. Solar Rock is a long-standing solar-powered music fest, which also has attracted additional environmental stewards and celebration to The Water Festival.
