2025 Ames Summer Series – Campustown
The Ames Summer Series is an event series happening in Downtown (May 15) and Campustown (June 18) and is hosted by the Ames Regional Economic Alliance. We look forward to celebrating summer all season long!
During this event you can sit back and relax with a beverage from Thirsty Pigs Beer Trailer while listening to music and check out some of the Food Trucks that our community has to offer while voting for your favorite to be crowned the Food Truck Showdown Champion! The winner receives a certificate and bragging rights.
We will also have plenty of family-friendly activities to enjoy, such as Cornhole, 4 Across, and Jenga!
Music will be provided by Mango Soul!
