Due to Covid-19 concerns, the September 17, 2020 Topeka Water Festival has been canceled.  Keep an eye out for the 2021 date!  


2019
Make A Splash
Topeka Water Festival
Rained Out

Around 850 fourth graders registered to visit Garfield Park to participate in 34 hands-on activities and visit five exhibits at the 21st Annual Topeka Water Festival.  Unfortunately, lightning and intermittent downpours caused the event to be canceled.  Shawnee County Conservation District assists in many areas of this Kansas Association of Conservation and Environmental Education (KACEE) event.  We will try again next year!

"We had a great day and appreciate the efforts made to address the state indicators."
