Save the Date! 🐷 🌽
We're excited to announce that for the fifth year in a row, ChildServe is the presenting sponsor for Sensory-Friendly Morning at the Iowa State Fair!
On Wednesday, August 19, 2026, families can enjoy a more inclusive fair experience with reduced sensory stimulation, providing a welcoming environment for individuals with autism, sensory sensitivities and other special healthcare needs.
From 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., select attractions and exhibits will offer a calmer atmosphere, allowing families to experience the sights, sounds and traditions of the Iowa State Fair in a way that works best for them. ChildServe's Calming Rooms, staffed by our occupational therapy teams, are available to help families take a break and recharge before heading out for more fair fun!
At ChildServe, we believe every child and family should have the opportunity to create lasting memories and participate in community experiences. We're proud to partner with the Iowa State Fair to make this beloved Iowa tradition more accessible for all. 💜
