Downtown Events

Greater Burlington’s Downtown Partners coordinate a host of extraordinary seasonal events to attract thousands of people to the city center.

Starting from spring through autumn, enjoy the Jefferson St Farmers Market, the largest farmer’s market in southeast Iowa. The Lighted Holiday Parade and Living Windows bring cheer to those chilly winter months. The Snake Alley Criterium is another one of our popular Downtown Events.

Find out how you can get involved and volunteer by calling Downtown Partners at 319-752-6365.
