Since 2012, Water Fest has been an environmental festival hosted by the City of Stuart in Stuart Memorial Park. The outdoor expo, which is free to the public, focuses on promoting water conservation and bringing awareness of current and future water quality and supply issues. Festival goers visit booths staffed by respected environmental professionals, local educators and peers, rising leaders, and utility personnel who provide interactive environmental lessons, demonstrations, contests, and games. The City of Stuart collaborates with Students4H2O to produce the springtime event, which among other endeavors, facilitates a walk-for-water to depict the challenge women and children face in many third world countries to obtain drinking water.
