Since 2011, the festival has focused on raising awareness for the increasing need to preserve Lake Country’s waterways and raising money for cleanup efforts so we can all enjoy the fun and beauty that the lakes bring to our community. The festival has also provided opportunities for all to enjoy the many recreational activities that our lakes afford from learning to water ski, pontoon boat rides, our education tent and workshops on the beach, to paddle sports and more! Please contact us if you are interested in sponsoring the event or hosting an educational workshop!
