Every August, West Branch throws a celebration to honor our most famous native son, President Herbert Hoover. Here is a list of events for this year's celebration.

Start your weekend a little early! The Freedom 250 truck is rolling into town just for President Hoover's birthday party!
Thursday, August 6th
Enjoy FREE admission (Grand Reopening day only!) to the newly renovated Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum.
Friday, August 7th
Spend your day wandering through our charming historic downtown. West Branch is packed with incredible local shops, hidden gems, and delicious spots to grab a bite. It’s the perfect time to explore before the big crowds arrive.
Saturday, August 8th - Festival!
This is the main event!
Eat, Shop, Explore from 10am-5pm
Saturday includes a jam-packed schedule featuring something for everyone! Enjoy free family-fun like the Mayor's parade, inflatables, petting zoo, giant bubbles, special activities from our local award-winning robotics team, plus a variety of live music, special performances, historic reenactments, food trucks, pop-up shops and exhibitors!
And THEN....HISPICS at WB Friends!!
Old-fashioned Hymn Sing at 4:30 at the church followed by a wide variety of homemade pies with a little (or a lot) of ice cream on top! Can't wait to see everyone again!
