Iowa’s food scene is the definition of “local rules”. So many businesses here work with local ingredients, and it’s common to be able to visit the farm where things are being made and be a part of the process from beginning to end. There are so many small food businesses around Iowa that it can be challenging to know where to begin – and now, you can sample many of the best all in one place. This April 1st, the Waterloo Convention Center is being taken over by the Iowa Eats Food & Drink Festival. This brand-new event will last from 11 AM to 5 PM, with advance tickets only being $10 for access to a convention hall full of dozens of vendors offering samples of some of the best local food and drink in Iowa. You can take a culinary trip all around the Hawkeye State without leaving the convention hall – for one day only!
