Registration for the 2025 in-person water festival is now closed. Check back around Valentine’s Day 2026 to register for the next festival!

The in-person festival will be Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. This festival is open to all metro-area fourth grade classes and homeschool students. Registration is now closed. To register for the 2026 in-person water festival, check back around Valentine’s Day.

A note about registration: There are often more classes interested in participating in the festival than we can accommodate, therefore you are registering your class to be included in the selection process that works to ensure equitable representation. Classes selected to participate will be notified by early May. All remaining registered classes will be moved to a waiting list in the event another class cancels.

Can’t wait for the in-person festival? Check out the virtual festival, available year-round and open to all!
