About

The Hutchinson Jaycee Water Carnival is a non-profit organization with the goal and commitment to providing Hutchinson and the surrounding area a community festival. This festival highlights the local pride of area businesses and citizens and encourages community fellowship and family fun.

Started in 1942, Water Carnival has evolved into a multi-event celebration of a beautiful, history rich community that is constantly growing.

Water carnival, our communities celebration, brings people together to celebrate the rich history, tradition, sense of community, it’s citizens and amazing young people that make up the Hutchinson area.
