Dirt Days is an adventure and environmental fair showcasing outdoor athletic challenges with the mission of "Protecting
the Places We Play". Enjoy gear demos, hands on skills clinics
and outdoor education suited to all ages. One of the main attractions of Dirt Days is a circuit of four adventure challenges:
climbing, pack trot, balance-challenge and fly casting. Each
challenge will have professionals teaching skills, and everyone is invited to
compete for big prizes in over-all best performance. Dirt Days is produced by Boulder's own AdventureFilm.org.
The Expo consists of exhibitors, vendors, and educational
activities on everything from renewable energy technologies,
green building, local and organic food systems, eco-friendly
clothing and accessories and MUCH more! People will experience not simply informational booths, but interactive environments where they can learn more about the earth through
Boulder’s sustainable businesses and organizations. Brought
to you by the ReDirect Guide, Colorado’s sustainable business
directory and community resource guide.
