Event Description
Join us in Bloomington September 23-26 for the Simply Living Fair and Midwest Permaculture Convergence. This event is designed to provide information about simple and sustainable living through lectures, workshops, demonstrations, and tours.
The event will kick off Thursday night with a FREE talk by Eric Brende about how to decide when human power works as well or better than electricity. On Friday, there will be an 8-hour introduction to permaculture (a design approach to working with nature when we design our homes, neighborhoods, and cities) followed by a local food welcome dinner and an opening session for visiting permaculturists.
Saturday is the main event, with workshops, hands-on demonstrations, and green business vendor booths in Third Street Park from 10:00 to 5:00. Learn about green projects in Bloomington and projects you can try at home such as urban gardening, home weatherization, beekeeping, water catchment, and more.
Come for the whole weekend or just drop in to learn about your favorite topic, whether it’s food production, alternative energy, green building, protecting our ecosystems, or alternative transportation. Many events are FREE and day passes for Saturday are only $15.
