It’s time to turn up the volume and celebrate the heart and soul of our great state—Iowa! From the iconic Field of Dreams to the breathtaking Bridges of Madison County, everyone is invited to pay homage to the places, people, and traditions that make Iowa truly special. Guests, marching bands, entertainers, and parade participants are encouraged to add their own Iowa flair to the festival —whether it’s rolling cornfields, music that echoes through our towns, or pride in our agricultural and cultural roots. 
 
Thanks to the generous support of Friends of the Festival, we are proud to keep this celebration a free event for all to enjoy. However, the cost of entertainment and support services continues to increase each year. 
 
We’d love to add your name to our list of generous contributors! Please consider supporting the Friends of the Festival campaign. The North Iowa Band Festival Foundation is classified by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization.
