Waterfest 2026 | Kids Out and About Nashville

Waterfest 2026

Waterfest is a free family festival all about celebrating our local streams and rivers! Hosted by the Cumberland River Compact and the City of Goodlettsville with support from the City of Gallatin and the City of Hendersonville, this event combines education and water-based outdoor activities for those of all ages. No registration is required for individuals and families; day camps and large groups, please see our website for registration info.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Attendees of all ages will learn about the importance of improving water quality in our watershed through interactive displays, activities, and conversations with environmental educators. Plus, there will be splashes of summer fun including two waterslides, a splash pad, prize giveaways, and a family-favorite dance party! 

Parking will be limited, but overflow parking will be available at Goodlettsville City Hall, Goodlettsville Church, and Goodlettsville Middle Prep.  

A parent or legal guardian will need to sign a waiver before children can use the waterslides. If you plan to bring a day camp or group where students are chaperoned by someone other than their parent, you must contact the Compact in advance to obtain and complete the waivers. Please email caroline.busic@cumberlandrivercompact.org.
