Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity joins the festival once again for a live, on-site Habitat home build managed by more than 120 Habitat volunteers. On Friday and Saturday, festival guests can stop and watch the construction of the home’s exterior frame; they can also join the excitement at the nearby Paint-A-Stud booth, where they’ll have the opportunity to paint or write a message of encouragement on the studs that will be used to construct the home’s basement.

On Sunday, guests can check out the home’s finished exterior via a walk-through tour. The completed house frame will be moved to its permanent lot at 12:01 on Monday morning, where it will ultimately be purchased by the recipi-ent Habitat homebuyer client, in this case a refugee family of nine. This is the fifth year for the festival to stage a live homebuild in partnership with Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity.

Calling all doodlers! One of the festival’s don’t-miss activities is the at the popular BOOM Art! interactive mural project sponsored by MidAmerican Energy Company, which offers festival guests (including kids AND kids at heart) the chance to contribute to an enormous coloring-book styled mutal; as each 10-foot section comes to live, the mural is hoisted up to 30 feet in the air by MidAmerican’s zero-emission/all-electric bucket trucks. Markers provided, no skills required, and don’t be surprised if MidAmerican mascots Sniffie the Sniffasauras and Louie the Lightning Bug drop by to join the fun. After the festival, the final mural (which can extend up to 100 feet) displays at events around the community, including the Iowa State Fair and the Downtown Farmers’ Market.
