Boomtown 2024 - "Back to the 80's"
Boomtown isn’t your typical small-town-USA fireworks display. Its an Earth-shaking pyrotechnic experience you will not soon forget. Don’t be late! The best seats in the house are in the grandstands at the fairgrounds, but parking and seating fills up quickly.

About the event
Get ready to rewind and relive the magic of the 80's at our upcoming 2024 Boomtown event! Â x The festivities will kick off on Friday, August 23rd, and continue through Sunday, August 25th. Camp out with fellow IPA members and immerse yourself in a weekend of fireworks fun!Â
The event is organized in partnership with the Iowa Pyrotechnic Association (IPA) and a committee. Â If blinding ground effects and feel-the-heat-on-your-face fireballs aren't enough, wait until the aerial bombs greet you with a heart-pounding aftershock!
The annual meeting of the IPA had been held on private property, but due to growth in membership they decided it would be best to hold the event somewhere else. The IPA contacted Vinton Unlimited in 2007 about incorporating a community event in conjunction with their meeting. After much discussion and planning, Boomtown was born. The public planning for Boomtown is managed by an all-volunteer committee, with the pyrotechnic expertise of the IPA coordinating the fireworks displays. Visitors have been welcomed from all over the Midwest and as far away as Arizona and Massachusetts.
