Art in the Park – Elkader
Festival – juried fine art festival

We are a regionally recognized and juried Fine Art Festival in Elkader, Iowa — always held the 3rd weekend in August! Our festival is held in Founders’ Park, alongside the Turkey River in historic downtown Elkader, Iowa. Experience the sights, tastes and sounds of this festival featuring local and regional artists. FREE admission with fine art, live music and entertainment, delicious foods, wine tasting, youth activities, family fun and more. This community-supported event is held in Elkader, Iowa, an eclectic riverside town with an established arts, historical, and outdoors scene in Northeast Iowa (the Driftless Region of the Midwest). As a two-time Iowa Arts Council Grant Recipient and recipient of the Iowa Tourism Award, the festival continues to prosper and grow in prestige each year. We are continuously dreaming up ways to make each year bigger and better!
