Iowa Monthly is a magazine about everything Iowa, published every month. It’s for anyone looking for something to do this weekend, a permit they need, a place to eat on the way, or a local business they can trust.
We cover the state the way Iowans actually live in it:
- Living & Culture: weekend trips, festivals and events, state history, food and drink, and the people and places that make Iowa home.
- Outdoors: hunting and fishing, parks and trails, camping, and the seasons and regulations you need to know before you go. Check our weekly Iowa Fishing Report before your next trip.
- Guides: plain-English help with licenses and permits, taxes, vehicles, schools and home utilities.
- Business: new businesses, openings and expansions, contracts and awards, and jobs across the state.
- Community: member spotlights, expert columns and your questions answered.
Our guides point you to the official state sources, so you can check the details for yourself.
