World Water Day

CELEBRATING WORLD WATER DAY ANNUALLY

World Water Day is a day of global advocacy for the sustainable management of freshwater resources, observed annually on March 22nd. In 2024, the City of Sedona, Oak Creek Watershed Council, and Arizona Water Company hosted our first ever World Water Day event for the people of Sedona and the Village of Oak Creek! Our goal is to continue to bring together local organizations and vendors to provide water resources education to the public year after year in a fun, outdoor setting.
