The first annual Field Day Festival: A Benefit for Colorado Springs’ Newest Music Venue is coming to Manitou Springs on October 10th!

Starting at 5 PM, we’ll have music happening across two stages at the Bud Ford Pavilion in Soda Springs Park and The Armadillo, featuring Shadow Work, Moon Veil, Dear Rabbit, and many more.
The festival is completely FREE, but we’ll be accepting donations to help with the build-out of The Iowa, our 100% artist-owned and artist-run art space on Colorado Springs’ Westside. Our friends at the Manitou Music Foundation will also be there helping us raise funds and supporting the day.

Hey, Colorado Springs. We’re The Iowa.

We’re a group of local artists who came together to create a 100% independent, artist owned and artist run venue on the Westside.

We’ve secured our building and started building the stage, but we need your help to finish the space.

Our crowdfunding campaign is now live. Follow us and share to help us make the room this town deserves.
