The 2024 Brantford/Brant Children’s Water Festival

The sixteenth-annual Brantford/Brant Children’s Water Festival will help more than 1,400 elementary school students splash their way to a better understanding of water: where it comes from, how we use it, and how we can protect and conserve it.

Students from Brantford, Brant and Six Nations will take part in over thirty fun, interactive games during their day-long visit to the festival at Mohawk Park from May 14-16. The festival is free to fourth grade classes. The goal of the festival is to educate future decision makers and to empower children to initiate environmental change within their homes, schools, and communities.
