Water slides are sticking around for this year's Coffeyville Summer Celebration
Organizers of the event say the event's popular water slides are back on for 2026. Earlier this year, organizers announced the slides would not return because of rising insurance costs. However, after hearing from community members, organizers continued looking for a solution. They now say a local church has agreed to sponsor the attraction, making it possible for the water slides to return to this year's event.
Organizers say the sponsorship agreement is still being finalized, and the name of the church will be announced once details are complete. The Coffeyville Summer Celebration takes place July 11th at Walter Johnson Park. The event marks its 10th anniversary and coincides with the nation's 250th birthday celebration. Admission is free.
