Water Festival

About

The Cortland County Water Festival is a free, family-friendly event in Cortland that teaches residents about the local water supply in a hands-on way. It is open to the public and pitched at everyone from kids to grandparents.

Activities include a horse-drawn wagon ride through the waterworks property, where riders hear about local geology and the aquifer, plus water trivia and bubble making. Kids can play games for prizes and giveaways, get their faces painted, take home a balloon and try mini golf.
