This is Iowa’s biggest festival of the year!

The Cedar Rapids Freedom Festival isn’t just a week-long celebration it's a year-round mission! As a non-profit organization, we are dedicated to planning safe, family-friendly events for the community that are low or no-cost, making memorable experiences accessible to everyone. 

2025 marks a special milestone as we celebrate 42 Years of bringing joy, unity, and excitement to Cedar Rapids! We invite you to join us in creating new memories and being a part of Iowa’s biggest festival of the year!
