Iowa Arts Festival

The Iowa Arts Festival is an award-winning, weekend-long community celebration that has featured hundreds of local and national visual artists since its inception in 1983. We are also proud to feature artists 16 to 25 years of age in our Emerging Artist Area. The Iowa Arts Festival also includes musical performances by national and local performers, food vendors serving regional and ethnic dishes, and creative, educational activities and entertainment for children. The Iowa Arts Festival has been, and continues to be, the most anticipated art event of the summer.
