The Water State Festival is a celebration of our Florida waters – the best on the planet!
Enjoy a day of water-themed science, crafts, art vendors, environmental nonprofits, government agencies, live mermaids, adventure outfitters, and entertainment. Also, festival goers will be able to visit the Cade Museum (FREE admission) to see Play Hard Florida’s State of Water Juried Art Exhibition!
Proceeds of the festival and the art show at the Cade Museum benefit two local environmental nonprofits that protect our waters and springs: Florida Springs Institute and Current Problems.
These annual Play Hard Florida community events are also part of our larger campaign to bring awareness to our state’s amazing natural resources – and to rename Florida’s nickname to “The Water State”.
