The Waukee Arts Festival has quickly become Waukee's largest and best-attended city event and draws more than 10,000 people from across the Midwest. The Waukee Arts Council is a non-profit organization. All proceeds go back to the community through additional artistic engagements, future arts festivals, DEI initiatives, and financial scholarships for local high school students wishing to pursue continued education in the arts.
