Art in the Park

Nestled along the water's edge of the Turkey River lies Elkader, Iowa. One of the smallest communities to boast a Main Street Iowa title, this little town is filled with busy shops, restaurants, and recreational opportunities. The third week in August we invite you to join us in the beautiful Founders Park for Art in the Park. Art in the Park is a fine art festival featuring visual, performing, and culinary artists from the surrounding area. This FREE event offers fun for the whole family. A children's Creation Station offers hands on activities for youth. Culinary vendors offer a diverse sampling of cuisines. Local entertainment showcases some of our area's greatest talent. Over 30 artists present their work for purchase in every medium; sculpture, painting, drawings, photography, ceramics, jewelry, and more.
