We are sorry to report that after careful consideration, the Whitewater Main St. Festival will be no longer occur due to multiple reasons.
The purpose of the festival was to support the arts in Whitewater on a variety of levels. This last year it was able to award a few artistic merit awards at the high school and college level.
The remainder of funds have been put into a fund, held by the Whitewater Arts Alliance to support the upkeep and conservation of the Prairie Tiller Mural.
Thank you to all who have supported the festival during it's short life. We hope that someday it could be brought back to life.
We know the funds gained throughout the years will support a great piece of art that is a pride of the Whitewater community. Thank you to the Whitewater Arts Alliance for the safe keeping of the mural over its many years.
