Free events in Waterloo, IA

The 90s Kids Band is performing at the fourth Friday Loo summer concert. It's free to attend, plus there's food, sips, and the best kind of downtown energy. Beyond this one, there's one last performance by The Fabulous Trutones on August 21st.

Now in its fourth summer, the Gallagher Bluedorn Block Party Series takes a portable stage to neighborhoods across the Cedar Valley, offering eight free outdoor concerts that feature local artists, complete with sound and lighting. Support from the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa, the UNI Sesquicentennial Celebration, GreenState Credit Union, People's Savings Bank, and the Village Cooperative of Cedar Falls makes the series possible. Their partnership helps deliver free live music, build community connections, and provide accessible arts experiences in neighborhoods across the Cedar Valley all summer.

This free Tai Chi event takes place at River Place Plaza and is presented by Cedar Falls Rec in partnership with River Place Plaza.

Enjoy a complimentary yoga session at River Place Plaza, presented by Cedar Falls Rec and River Place Plaza.
