About the Fairfield Cultural Alliance

In 2005, the Fairfield Cultural Alliance helped create a state-designated Cultural District in Fairfield. In 2019, the FCA successfully secured re-designation for Fairfield Cultural and Entertainment District from the state of Iowa, published the 2019 edition of the Heritage Tour booklet, and organized the second World Fair Field International Festival in September.

Despite the challenges posed in 2020, 2021, and 2022, the FCA continued its mission by producing a revised edition of the Heritage Tour booklet and distributing Cultural Trust Fund Mini-Grants. Collaborations with the Fairfield Volunteer Center and the Fairfield Parks and Recreation Department aimed to keep our city parks free from litter, and sponsored two artistic Community Spirit signs designed by local artist, Chad Starling.

We invite you to join us in celebrating the liveliness of arts and culture in Fairfield and look forward to your enthusiastic participation.

The Fairfield Cultural Alliance (FCA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering and promoting arts, culture, history, and creative expression in Fairfield, Iowa. The FCA plays a pivotal role in preserving and enriching the cultural heritage of our vibrant community.
