Please contact them with any inquiries pertaining to BBQ Roundup.
Thank you so much for your interest in supporting the Cedar Rapids Freedom Festival.
Because of the continuation of social distancing and precautions taking place to further prevent the spread of COVID-19, and with recommendations by both the Linn County Public Health Department and the City of Cedar Rapids Mayor, it is with a heavy heart that we announce that the 2020 Cedar Rapids Freedom Festival has been CANCELLED.
