2023 IOWA ARTS FESTIVAL 

Presented by MidWestOne Bank and MidAmerican Energy Company

June 7-9 in the heart of Iowa City!

The Iowa Arts Festival provides a feast for the senses. The fine art fair features beautiful creations from local and national artists showcasing items such as jewelry, painting, ceramics, photography, metal, glass, fiber and more! It’s one of Iowa City locals’ favorite events in the summer.

The event spans three days and is spread throughout nine blocks and the Ped Mall in downtown Iowa City. The streets come alive as music fills the air on two stages. Locals love attending the Main Stage where their favorite bands play. In the past, nationally known performers like the Indigo Girls and Los Lobos have performed there.
