Missing the live event at the Midtown Global Market?
Our live fair will not be at the market this year due to COVID, but you can still drop in anytime between 10am-5pm to eat lunch or dinner and see the nature mandala installation, view environmental justice murals, write a kindness card, free seed pick up, and grab an Xcel Energy goodie bag (while supplies last).
Due to new COVID restrictions of "no social gatherings outside the home" we are cancelling all drop in stations at the Midtown Global Market. Please stay safe and explore all the virtual events during the fair on the top menu bar at www.digmn.org
Try our new Virtual Forest Fun Run!
Join us for a new and fun activity this year - the Virtual Forest Fun Run on Saturday, November 21st. The goal is to get outdoors in any way you can.
