The Okoboji Blue Water Festival was founded in 2016 as a venue to promote clean water and other natural resources advocacy in the Iowa Great Lakes. The festival has grown exponentially each year and is now regarded as the premier water quality event in Iowa. There will be activities for kids, fishing seminars and keynote speakers, and exhibitors, including IIHR. The Okoboji Blue Water Festival supports the stewardship of clean water and other natural resources through participation, education and celebration. Come and share the experience that is designed for all ages!

Be sure to stop by the IIHR booth to say hello and learn more about our work to advance water sciences and support communities across Iowa.
