LAKE FEST

Dive into a day of exploration and hands-on discovery at Lake Fest at Ford House, a family-friendly celebration inspired by the science, nature, and creativity of Lake St. Clair.
Lake Fest is designed to spark curiosity and build confidence in young learners by turning big ideas into playful, engaging experiences. Through interactive S.T.E.A.M.-based activities, children are encouraged to ask questions, explore how the lake works, and discover the animals and ecosystems that make Lake St. Clair such an important natural resource.
For families, Lake Fest offers a meaningful way to support learning outside the classroom while spending time together in a beautiful outdoor setting. Activities are hands-on and age-appropriate, helping children develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and environmental awareness in ways that feel fun rather than instructional.
Set along the lakefront at Ford House, the festival blends science, art, and nature into a day that invites movement, exploration, and shared discovery. Whether your child loves wildlife, enjoys building and creating, or is simply curious about the world around them, Lake Fest provides an engaging experience that inspires learning through play.
