2026 Beers in the Barnyard

Join Cedar Rapids Parks Foundation for the 9th Annual Beers in the Barnyard on Thursday, October 8th!

Beers in the Barnyard is our signature fundraising event and ensures we can continue our mission of creating, enhancing, and sustaining innovative parks and recreation in Cedar Rapids. Your donations help us fund projects like:

• The Roundhouse as part of the Lightline Loop project
• Native Oasis/Pollinator Gardens
• Power/Water for Hughes Park Ice Rink
• Cedar Lake amenities
• Jones Park Pickleball Court Lights
• Neighborhood Association Mini-grants

Held at Old MacDonald’s Farm in Bever Park, this event features a variety of dinner options provided by local food truck vendors, local beer and wine, alcohol-free options, and a silent auction you won’t want to miss. 

Beers in the Barnyard is a 21 and older event. Tickets are non-refundable.
