DMHS records the first Des Moines Waterland Festival in 1960, so this “early Waterland” parade photograph cannot predate 1960.

Historical identifications are stated only where supported by the existing DMHS collection or corroborating research. Unresolved dates, names, and locations are identified as such rather than inferred from appearance alone.
