The final day of the Granfalloon is a busy one. Starting at 9am, festival goers can drop by the City Hall atrium for booths, games, and installations. You can also grab a seat in the Council Chambers for academic panels and a keynote with Ginger Strand.
The universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest
Saturday events (9am–1pm)» Vonnegut Collections exhibit (Lilly Library) » Community booths, games & installations (City Hall atrium)
The six o'clock hour brings two great options. Choice 1: head to the Waldron Arts Center for a community discussion about civic responsibility and a staged reading of the musical adaptation of God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater. Choice 2: go to Rhino's Youth Center—the first of three venues hosting live music performances as part of the City of Bloomington ClubFest.
