In 2005 the Fairfield Cultural Alliance helped create a state designated Cultural District in Fairfield, and since has been working to support arts, culture, history, and creative expression in our town. In 2019, the FCA applied for and received re-designation for the Fairfield Cultural and Entertainment District from the state of Iowa, published the 2019 edition of the Heritage Tour booklet, and organized the second World Fair Field International Festival in September and their Celebration of Arts & Culture this December.
