Waterfest
On June 9th, 2012, the City of Lincoln will hold the 4th Biennial Waterfest at Holmes Lake Park. For three hours (5-8 p.m.), guests will learn about our most valuable resource -- water. Exhibitors and volunteers will help guests to learn about what they can do to reduce pollutants in local streams and lakes.

Free hot dogs and sodas will be available (while they last). Exhibitor booths will have fun, hands-on activities. Other events will include canoe rides, a fishing clinic and a live performance by PANgea.

Waterfest is being held in conjunction with Public Works Day — an event that will highlight the role Lincoln's Public Works & Utilities Department serves in our daily lives when we brush our teeth, flush our toilets, travel our streets, walk our sidewalks, ride a StarTran bus, or recycle our newspapers. Public Works and Utilities staff will feature some of the department's big equipment, displays and fun activities, interesting information and handouts.
