Ollin Farms

Free & Family-Centered

Longmont Water Week culminates on June 14th at Ollin Farms in Longmont with this celebration of water. FREE, family-centered, all are invited.

Colorado Water Stories and Ollin Farms bring you an event to feed your body with nutrient dense food and your spirit with uplifting dance and music. We aim to increase your understanding and appreciation for water, meet new neighbors, build community, and celebrate our most precious and endangered resource - WATER!

Join us also for Boulder County’s 12th year of being a Global Water Dances site!

Global Water Dances is an international project that uses movement to raise awareness of local and global water issues. Join us for a day that weaves movement, environmental education, community action, wellbeing, food, and spirituality.

This year’s performance features core dancers:
~ Anna Pillot ~ Peg Posnick ~ Caroline Butcher ~ Melinda Harrison ~ Shauna Hylenski ~ Dana Walker ~ Karen Drucker ~ Maren Waldman

With musicians Dexter Payne and Elisa Garcia.

Children from Mimi Ferrie/Dandelion Arts Collective’s Water Dances Kids Camp will join us as we move with over 100 sites on 6 continents all dancing for clean water on the same day!
