Aquafest 2025 is on Friday, July 11th through Sunday, July 13th this year.​ We've moved the festival earlier than our traditional "last weekend of July" to accommodate the return of the carnival. Additionally, the carnival will begin operation on Thursday, July 10th.

Aquafest takes place in multiple locations around Lake Stevens, with main activities centered in downtown Lake Stevens and North Cove Park. A detailed map of event locations will be available this June.

Aquafest itself is FREE to attend! Some individual events or activities may have there own fees. These include the Carnival, vendor purchases, and food.

10 AM to 11 PM on Friday 10 AM to 11PM on Saturday 10 AM to 5 PM of Sunday

Information about presale arm bands will be announced soon. Tickets and arm bands can also be bought at the event. Details on the prices of armbands and tickets as well as the days of the Carnival can be found on the Carnival page.

We're currently planning our event lineup for 2025. The schedule will be updated regularly, with most events confirmed by May. The schedule for all events should be confirmed by June. Check the Festival Information Page for the current schedules.

Aquafest is completely volunteer-driven! The festival is organized by the Aquafest Committee, a dedicated group of community members who donate their time to keep this tradition alive. We're always looking for more help!

As a community event, Aquafest relies on sponsors, donors, and registration fees to operate. Without the generous support of local businesses and community members, this festival would not be possible.
