Osborne’s Future Annual Festival Listening Sessions
Nov. 25th – 6pm Dec. 15th – 6pm Jan. 15th – 6pm Feb. 6th – 10am
Clayton County Conservation Center
For half a century, pioneer vendors and demonstrators have brought the early 1800s to life, making Heritage Days one of Northeast Iowa’s most cherished annual festivals. As we celebrate this milestone year, we also recognize how traditions evolve. While the number of pioneer vendors has shifted over time, interest in handmade and modern goods has grown, opening the door to new possibilities for the future of this community gathering.
With that in mind, 2025 will mark the final Osborne Heritage Days as we know it. But it’s not an ending...It’s the beginning of something new. We want the public’s voice to help shape the festival that will carry this legacy forward.
To do that, we’re hosting four listening and planning sessions over the next few months. These sessions will focus on developing the vision, branding, and experiences for the next era of Osborne’s annual celebration. Your input matters, and we’d love to see you at one of these sessions. Light refreshments to be provided.





I find it fascinating how the Osborne Heritage Days is evolving, much like how games such as plants vs brainrots have evolved with technology and player feedback.
Kind of like trying a new level in Geometry Dash Lite—different, maybe a bit challenging at first, but still rooted in fun and rhythm. Count me in for one of the planning sessions!
The slopes of Snow Rider are alive with motion — you’ll feel the crisp wind rush against your face as you slide past massive snowmen, rolling snowballs, icy cliffs, and towering pine trees.
Keeping this in mind, the Osborne Heritage Days that we are familiar with will be discontinued in the year 2025. However, it is not the melon playground conclusion...Something fresh and exciting is about to start.
