As we celebrate our 56th anniversary in 2025, we're honoring our traditions while embracing the future. With the return of the carnival and many other beloved events, we're committed to making this milestone year truly special.

We invite you to be part of this legacy - whether as an attendee, volunteer, vendor, or sponsor. Together, we'll ensure Aquafest remains a cornerstone of Lake Stevens culture for generations to come.
