Iowa is a farming state, for sure! That’s why, every Fall, Hawkeyes everywhere throw enormous harvest festivals. Autumn is the most fun time of year in the Midwest – tractor pulls, corn mazes, pumpkin picking, and more really bring out our agricultural roots. Visit the town of Cromwell for Harvest Fest 2019 – the earliest fall festival of the year. Head into town on September 6 through 8 for a weekend of family fun.

Cromwell, Iowa is home to the first fall festival of the year. Join them for Harvest Fest 2019!
