The Water State Festival

The Water State Festival (created and run by Play Hard Florida) is a celebration of our Florida waters – the best on the planet!

Enjoy a day of water-themed science, crafts, art vendors, food trucks, splash pad, live mermaids, adventure gear and all the new kayaks and paddle boards at Depot Park. Also, festival goers will be able to visit the Cade Museum for FREE to see the water-inspired artwork at the Shaped By Water Juried Art Exhibition!

Proceeds of the festival and the art show at the Cade Museum benefit us, the Florida Springs Institute!
