2026 River & Rail Weekend

Mark your calendars! River & Rail Weekend 2026 is set for September 25–27 with three full days of events on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This isn’t just a celebration for train fans—it’s for river lovers and locals too! We’re looking for community members to join planning committees and help us bring fresh ideas to life, making this a one-of-a-kind Fort Madison tradition that celebrates our rich River and Rail heritage. Interested in volunteering? Please contact the Tourism Office to be part of the team!
