The City's 6th annual Climate Fest is coming your way with six days of events from friday through Thursday 2025! The annual event is a celebration of the many ways our community takes action to address climate change with a series of free, family-friendly events.
Schedule of Events:
Read Aloud at the Lagoon Shelter House
Iowa has stories to tell: hard lessons learned from soil loss, compromised water quality, and fragmented natural systems, but also proven solutions built on knowing and doing better that are ready to scale up.
In Tending Iowa's Land, local researcher and writer Cornelia Mutel offers a collection of essays and personal stories from experts and everyday people that probe the challenges and explore the pathways to a regenerative future for our natural environment.
Help give voice to these stories on Tuesday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., at the Lagoon Shelter House alongside the Iowa River, by signing up for a 20-minute shift to read a section of the book out loud. Or come to be recharged by hearing others amplify these essays vocally and stick around to meet individuals and organizations helping put these principles into practice.
Bus, walk, or bike to this event! Cambus Routes 31 and 32 have stops on N Riverside Dr. The Lagoon Shelter House is adjacent to the Iowa River Corridor Trail and pedestrian bridge, a 15-minute walk from the Downtown Transit Interchange.
