Everything from frozen confections to farmland abundance is celebrated at 297 yearly events. Three of the largest are: Iowa State Fair, Cedar Rapids Freedom Festival and Art Barn at the Clay County Fair. From colossal to quirky, everything you need to know about Iowa’s Festivals, Art Shows, Music Festivals and Craft Shows is right here!
