Yes! Dogs are welcome at the concert, but must be on leash at all times. You are also responsible for cleaning up after your dog. If either of these rules are violated, you may be asked to leave the concert area. This is a family-friendly event and we want everyone to be able to enjoy it, including Fido!

No. The Limited Edition Hotel Packages are only available though one of the area hotels. Learn more about these various packages by visiting the Hotel Package section of our website.

Will there be Hawkeye merchandise available to buy at the tradeshow?
Yes. Just about everything you have seen or heard about in the world of Hawkeye merchandise will be on display and, in most cases, available for purchase that day!
