In 1979 the Dubuque County Fine Arts Society started the state of Iowa’s longest-running Arts Festival. DubuqueFest is produced by The Dubuque County Fine Arts Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing arts to the Dubuque community. They have promised to keep DBQfest free to the public.
