Osborne’s Future Annual Festival Listening Sessions

Osborne’s Future Annual Festival Listening Sessions Nov. 25th – 6pm Dec. 15th – 6pm Jan. 15th – 6pm Feb. 6th – 10am Clayton County Conservation Center For half a century, pioneer vendors and demonstrators have brought the early 1800s to life, making Heritage Days one of Northeast Iowa’s most cherished annual festivals. As we celebrate this milestone year, we also recognize how traditions evolve. While the number of pioneer vendors has shifted over time, interest in handmade and modern goods has grown, opening the door to new possibilities for the future of this community gathering. With that in mind, 2025 will mark the final Osborne Heritage Days as we know it. But it’s not an ending...It’s the beginning of something new. We want the public’s voice to help shape the festival that will carry this legacy forward. To do that, we’re hosting four listening and planning sessions over the next few months. These sessions will focus on developing the vision, branding, and experiences for the next era of Osborne’s annual celebration. Your input matters, and we’d love to see you at one of these sessions. Light refreshments to be provided. The Clayton County Conservation Center is located at 29862 Osborne Rd., Elkader, approximately 5 miles south of Elkader on Highway 13.
