Cedar Rapids, IA

Magician in Cedar Rapids

Insurance, aerospace and cereal: three large employers with big holiday calendars.

Cedar Rapids is a four-hour drive and comfortably a same-night trip. It is a company town several times over, which matters for booking: a handful of large employers set the calendar, and their holiday party season is the busiest stretch of the year by a wide margin.

What gets booked in Cedar Rapids

Collins Aerospace, Transamerica and Quaker Oats anchor the corporate calendar, and between them they run the sort of employee holiday parties and service-award evenings that need an entertainer who works for a mixed crowd of engineers and families. The rebuilt downtown has added event venues since the flood, and the Cedar Rapids school district and the parishes add family-night and assembly work. December fills first here. A holiday date is worth booking by September.

Getting there

About 4 hours by road from Milwaukee. That is a regular run, and travel is either built into the package or itemised on your quote, agreed before anything is booked.
