Macatawa Water Festival

Event Details

The Macatawa Water Festival will be held in Holland’s Kollen Park. This community event is designed to help people of all ages learn about our most precious natural resource, Lake Macatawa and its watershed. The festival is a benefit for Project Clarity, a community-wide restoration initiative working towards a cleaner, healthier lake.

Over 20 community partners and sponsors will come together to offer activities and educational experiences designed to engage all ages. People will also have the opportunity to kayak while exploring and learning how to restore and preserve our lake and watershed. Other activities include learning about native and invasive plants, performing water quality experiments, and learning about water filtration and pollutants.

All ages welcome!
