Van Meter Visitor Festival

Celebrate Iowa's most bizarre cryptid - The Van Meter Visitor.

In 1903, a giant 8-foot bat-like creature attacked the small town of Van Meter for 5 nights. A flap of modern sightings has sparked new life into this 120-year-old legend. Join us to celebrate with:
- Guided monster walking tour
- Paranormal presentations
- Monster themed games, drinks, food, and much more
- Amazing vendors
