We're putting a giant dirt pit on Kirkwood Avenue! Kids can play in the dirt, make mud pies, learn about worms and the science of soil, and take home soil and seeds for gardening. Ages birth-8.

Expect to get gloriously dirty at Dirt Fest! We recommend bringing a towel and even a change of clothes for kids. A shade station with water and light snacks will be provided. The soil will be generously donated by Good Earth Composting, LLC with support from Bloomington Parks & Recreation. 

Please contact Jon Stevens at jstevens@mcpl.info if you have any questions about this program.
