Whether you enjoy a crisp, fall Saturday at historic Kinnick Stadium or exploring the Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty Area, there is one passion shared by many – the University of Iowa Hawkeyes! Celebrate the previous year’s Hawkeye seasons and immerse yourself in a sea of black and gold at FRY fest, presented by The Eastern Iowa Airport.
FRY fest is a one day ‘Celebration of all that is Hawkeye’ to kick-off the Hawkeye athletic seasons the Friday before the first home football game. With over 20,000 members of Hawkeye Nation in attendance, it is quickly becoming a tradition for fans to travel to Coralville, Iowa each year to take part in the festivities. The event also serves as a fundraiser for the City of Coralville with proceeds of the concert and beverage garden going towards Coralville’s Fourth of July Celebrations.
The 4th Annual FRY fest will take place FRYday, September 7, 2012, and will recognize and celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the Cy-Hawk Series, the day before the Hawkeyes take on the Cyclones in Kinnick Stadium. FRY fest attendees will be able to take in a day of panel discussions reliving stories from broadcasters, players and coaches’ perspectives from this intra-state rivalry game played annually between Big 12 Conference member Iowa State Cyclones and the University of Iowa Hawkeyes of the Big Ten Conference.
The “World’s Largest Hawkeye Tradeshow & Tailgate Party” is back where fans can interact with Hawkeye retailers, licensees, and other related groups. New to the mix will be some Cyclone licensed vendors offering fans their latest and greatest merchandise as well. Also returning are the FRY fest car show presented by Carousel Nissan, FRY fest small FRY zone at Diamond Dreams, and the FRY fest pep rally, all FREE and open to the public. The day will wrap up with an incredible outdoor concert.
With numerous family-friendly activities planned throughout the day, FRY fest is a true ‘Celebration of all that is Hawkeye.’ We hope to see you on September 7, 2012!
