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:

Resilience Hub Hang Out
Resilience Hubs are community-centered spaces that offer support based on neighborhood needs. Unlike emergency shelters, they operate year-round to build long-term community strength but can also provide key services during community disaster and recovery efforts. Last year, Iowa City embarked on a planning process in collaboration with two community organizations, the Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County and the Bike Library, to envision the unique role each might play as a Resilience Hub. This year, both have begun implementing those plans, with solar panels installed at the Bike Library and emergency power generators on the way for NCJC.

You can learn more about Resilience Hubs and future plans at the Bike Library on Wednesday, from 5-8 p.m. While there, get started on your own home preparedness kit with an assortment of free supplies to take with you, pick up one of the Resilience Hub zines created by Neighborhood Centers staff and Bike Library volunteers, and check out the new rooftop solar array. Leave inspired to help make Iowa City more ready for disruptions like extreme weather events.

Take a free bus to this event! Routes 1 and 13 have stops near Gilbert Court.
