Longmont Water Fair

June 9th, 2024

Where does your water come from? Where is it going? How can we be good water stewards along its journey? The Longmont Water Fair is a collaborative event that brings together science, art, and education to celebrate the watershed you live in. Follow water's journey from mountain to home through hands-on science activities, art projects, live performances, and conversations with local water leaders. Join us for this free, family-friendly event to meet your neighbors, complete our scavenger hunt for prizes, and leave with action steps you can take towards a more water-conscious future.
