The Rouge River Water Festival is designed to help elementary students learn about our most precious natural resource- clean, fresh water. This free event will help students appreciate the importance of water and how it impacts their daily lives. It also provides students with hands-on activities to help them understand environmental stewardship and explore connections with their local watershed.
This year the 22nd Annual Rouge River Water Festival will be held September 19th-22nd, 2023. Registration is free and open to 4th and 5th grade classes in the Rouge River Watershed.
