There are seven watersheds within Polk County that feed the Alafia, Hillsborough, Kissimmee, Little Manatee, Oklawaha, Peace, and Withlacoochee rivers (hence, the event name). Those river waters impact quality and quantity of water throughout our county and Central Florida from coast to coast.
With collaboration through the City of Winter Haven, Polk County, and the City of Lakeland, the event aims to foster understanding, appreciation, and stewardship of one of nature’s greatest resources.
Our generous sponsors allow us to cover festival expenses, such as advertising, live entertainment, animal exhibits, and equipment rental. Without their support, the event would not be possible. If you or your organization would like to participate as a sponsor or promote the event with an in-kind donation (media, activity, equipment, rental, etc.), keep an eye out for our sponsor application, which will be coming soon!
