Goodlettsville, Tenn. – The Cumberland River Compact will hold its annual Waterfest, a free,
family-friendly celebration of local streams and rivers, in Goodlettsville’s Peay Park on Friday, June 27
from 10 am – 12 pm. The event, which drew 500 attendees last year, combines environmental education
and splashes of summer fun for kids of all ages.
Families will discover the importance of clean water through interactive exhibits, engaging activities, and
conversations with educators from across the region. Kids and adults alike can enjoy waterslides, a
splash pad, prize giveaways, and the ever-popular family dance party. To help beat the heat, the first
200 guests will receive a free snow cone from a local vendor.
“Waterfest is a joyful way to connect our community with the rivers and streams that shape Sumner
County,” said Caroline Busic, Education & Engagement Coordinator at the Cumberland River Compact.
“We want people to walk away with both a smile and a deeper understanding of how to care for our
shared water resources.”
No registration is required for individuals or families; day camps and large groups must register in
advance.
Waterfest is part of the Cumberland River Compact’s ongoing efforts to protect and enhance the health
of the Cumberland River Basin, ensuring clean and abundant water for all who call it home. It is put on in
partnership with the City of Goodlettsville, the City of Hendersonville, and the City of Gallatin, with
support from the Nashville Predators Foundation.
Registration to volunteer at the event closes on June 20th. More information can be found at the
Waterfest event page on the Compact’s website.
