Water Power Day

Rock Creek Park

Special Event
  • Jul 12, 2025 at 10:00 AM
  • Free

See how Peirce Mill uses the power of water to grind corn into cornmeal. Then experiment with water toys, learn about Archimedean screws, and construct a paper-plate waterwheel. DC Water will provide plenty of fresh, cold drinking water, a river clean-up activity for kids, and a misting tent where folks can cool off safely. And the Rock Creek Conservancy will share the work they’re doing to keep Rock Creek clean and healthy–and what you can do to help protect our local waters.

Enjoy free summer fun for all ages in Rock Creek Park!

Rain Date: Sunday, July 13

 

This program is hosted by the Friends of Peirce Mill.
