About Iowa City Events

If you're lucky enough to visit Iowa City when it's hosting a special event, you'll find a town even more memorable than usual. You'll also get an extra-special welcome when you meet residents and other visitors. Whether it's the Arts Festival or the annual Jazz Festival, Iowa City knows how to plan and throw a big party. Of course, the college town also maintains a youthful bent, as exemplified by the University of Iowa Riverfest, which features live music, food and abundant revelry. Plus, over Labor Day weekend, the Iowa Fun Festival draws thousands of celebrants to wrap up the summer season in a splash of joy and exuberance. -- Emma Rayner, Writer
