Saturday at Waterfest was packed with the kind of small-town fun that makes Excelsior Springs shine!

Jason Cole captured photos from throughout the day, from the parade and downtown festivities to live entertainment, family fun, familiar faces, and all the moments that make Waterfest such a special tradition for our community.

A huge shoutout goes to the Waterfest committee, sponsors, and volunteers who put in countless hours over the last year to make the weekend happen. Events like this don’t come together without a lot of hard work behind the scenes, and we are so grateful for everyone who helped bring it all to life.

Thank you to the Excelsior Springs Area Chamber of Commerce for continuing to make Waterfest possible each year.

We have loved sharing photos from this year’s celebration and hope you enjoy reliving all the fun. See you June 25 and 26!

The Waterfest Parade is always one of the highlights of the weekend, and Saturday morning did not disappoint!

From colorful floats and classic cars to local businesses, community organizations, and plenty of smiling faces, it was a great celebration of everything that makes Excelsior Springs special.

Take a look through the photos and see if you can find yourself, your family, or someone you know. Thanks to everyone who participated and helped make this year's parade another memorable tradition!
