Our mission
Drawing upon Decorah, Iowa and the surround area's rich sense of community, we create uncommon experiences through presenting locally-based collaborative arts across a wealth of local venues.
“In a small-town environment, where music of all kinds is readily available and where the calendar is approaching saturation, the Water Street Music Series achieves the impossible.”
three sell-out seasons
In three seasons, nearly 3,000 people have attended Water St. productions.
“In addition to the joy of hearing great music, the assortment of unique venues helped to create a one-of-a kind experience.”
