Join our Cedar Valley Plant-Based Community for a fun morning at the Iowa Irish Fest, one of Iowa's largest cultural festivals! We'll meet at 10:00am at Gate 2 (Mulberry Street & East 4th Street) before exploring the festival together.
Whether you're vegan, plant-based, vegetarian, plant-curious, or simply looking to make new friends, everyone is welcome. We'll stroll through the festival grounds, check out vendors, enjoy Irish music and entertainment, and discover everything this annual celebration has to offer.
After we meet up, the group is welcome to continue exploring the festival together or head off on their own.

Food Note
While we'll keep an eye out for vegan and plant-based options during the festival, we're not sure what vegan food will be available this year. We recommend eating beforehand so you can relax and enjoy the event regardless of the food selection. If we discover any great vegan options while we're there, we'll be happy to point them out and share them with the group!
Whether it's your first Cedar Valley Plant-Based Community event or you're a regular attendee, we'd love to have you join us for a morning of community, culture, and summer fun at one of Waterloo's favorite annual festivals!
