Be a builder for the day at the Big Build festival! Amateur builders young and old can discover what it's like to build a brick wall, carve stone, hammer nails, and much more as they work side-by-side with designers, builders, and artisans demonstrating their skills. Meet plumbers, ironworkers, landscape architects, woodworkers, and experts in many other fields to learn about their professions and hobbies. This year at the Big Build,visitors can:

• Climb aboard trucks and tractors
• Construct a log cabin
• Imagine the view from the beams of a skyscraper
• Compete in a nail driving contest
• Create a hardware windchime
