The first Iowa City PeaceFest ~ Music & Arts Festival was September 2023 at City Park with the intent of bringing the Iowa City and surrounding communities together with Music & Art to help propel Peace forward. 
PeaceFest features local and regional artists, musicians, performers as a free event to the public.  PeaceFest provides the community a safe place to dance, hope, sing, think, cry, laugh and make new, kind bonding friendships throughout the day. 
 
We encourage Peace positive non-profit organizations to attend and share their stories and messages. We want to help make people more aware of social, humanitarian, and environmental issues through Music and the Arts. 
Spending time in nature enjoying the Arts and talking to one another will organically help break down the barriers that separate us while strengthening our community. Peace is possible when we gather in community.  

Visual Spectrums is pleased to partner with Iowa City PeaceFest 2026 to further support inclusivity and engagement in the Arts.
