Iowa Festivals 2026–2027.

Iowa is the only state bordered by two navigable rivers and two National Scenic Byways. In between, there’s the world’s largest bull, cornstalk and strawberry! President Herbert Hoover, John Wayne and Glenn Miller were born here. And, it’s home to the world’s oldest ice cream parlour! 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!
