BRING IT BACK
Aqua Fest is gone. The appetite isn't. This petition exists to prove that affection for the name can still turn into a real audience.
Austin has no shortage of festivals, but very few come preloaded with three generations of memory. Aqua Fest does.
The city still understands festival economics: a beloved local tradition can drive press, civic pride, and sponsorship attention in a quiet part of the calendar.
And the simplest argument still works: the lake is still there. So is the feeling people attach to the name.

SIGNATURE WALL
The cold-start version stays honest: once the count crosses 100, this page will swap to the live tally and neighborhood wall.
The founding crew is forming — be one of the first 100 aboard.
Wall entries will show first name, Austin area, and a short memory only.
FAQ
An independent archivist building a tribute site and demand signal, not the original festival organization and not the City of Austin.
No. This is a petition, not an event announcement and not a presale.
Your name helps prove demand for a revival and your email lets the project update you if the campaign finds a permanent steward.
Email never appears in public. The signature wall only uses first name, approximate area, and a short memory if you provide one.
A capable producer, sponsor support, civic alignment, and proof that enough Austinites still care. This page is about that last part.
