Every year, over 1,500 fifth-grade students assemble at Las Colonias Park & Amphitheater in Grand Junction, Colorado, to participate in a two-day Western Colorado Children's Water Festival. The festival has grown to be recognized as the largest Children's Water Festival in the State of Colorado. The presentations are designed to give students an opportunity to learn about the many different roles water plays in their individual lives, their community, and the world in which they live.
