Since 2011, this family-friendly event, the Lake Country Clean Water Festival, has been dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of preserving Lake Country’s beautiful waterways—and raising funds to support ongoing educational efforts. Our lakes are at the heart of our community’s natural beauty and recreation, and this festival is a celebration of all they offer.

Over the years, the festival has given thousands the chance to enjoy lake-based activities, from learning to water ski and taking scenic pontoon boat rides, to joining beachside Zumba, yoga, bootcamp classes, and paddle sports. It’s a day packed with fun, learning, and connection.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, over $100,000 has been donated to local organizations committed to water quality and environmental education. Hundreds have explored the education tent, engaging with local lake ecology experts and discovering ways they can make a difference.

But the work isn’t done. Lake Country’s waterways continue to face environmental pressures, and your support is more important than ever.

In the meantime, they hope you come to this year’s festival and join in on the fun as we all celebrate our precious gems – the lakes of Lake Country!

Lake Country Clean Waters proudly hosts the 15th Annual Lake Country Clean Water Festival on Saturday, June 27, 2026 at Lakefront Park Beach in downtown Pewaukee. Held in partnership with the Pewaukee Kiwanis Beach Party, the festival celebrates Lake Country’s lakes while promoting clean water awareness and stewardship. The event’s Education Tent features hands-on activities and interactive exhibits from 10 local organizations, offering fun and engaging learning opportunities for all ages about lake ecology and protecting local waterways. Children can take part in the “Clean Water Passport” activity by collecting stamps at each exhibit for a chance to win prizes.
