Fort Madison is a quaint river town located on the Mighty Mississippi, with a downtown that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With one of the oldest downtown west of the Mississippi River, we have a picturesque small town setting lined with architectural gems and unique boutiques. Thanks to Main Street's efforts, downtown Fort Madison is rockin'! Join us as we celebrate our revitalization efforts at the second annual Big Buckle Bash!

Grab those Big Belt Buckles and boots, and get ready to party!

Not only do we have amazing music, great food and drink, but we have activities for “kids” of all ages! From clowns and pony rides, to a mechanical bull and hot wing eating contest, you’re sure to have an unforgettable night! Even downtown businesses and area artisans will have plenty to offer in the way of shopping. Children under 12 are free to enter. Be sure to come by 7pm, so you don’t miss the children’s activities and great shopping!

The Bash can get kind of crazy (it’s easy to lose track of time!) so why not stay the night in Fort Madison? That way, you don’t have to worry about driving and you can spend a weekend in a historic Heartland downtown.

We’ll be crowning one lucky guy the King of the Bash! Wanna compete? Then wear your biggest, gaudiest belt buckle! The gentleman who has the largest Big Buckle will win a great prize that’s sure to put a grin on that mug!

Hey Gals! Have some old prom or bridesmaids dressing? They make a perfect outfit for the Funky Cowgirl Prom! Funkier, the better! Still don’t know what we mean? We’ll having prizes for the lucky little lady who’s crowned The Queen of the Prom!

DON’T FORGET YOUR LAWN CHAIRS!
