Ticket prices and weekend themes have been posted for this year's Des Moines Renaissance Faire:

Is it me, or does it look like season pass (and maybe 2-day pass) prices are lower?

This coming Friday evening, June 26, and all-day Saturday, June 27, will be Trek Fest XXV in Riverside, Iowa (near Iowa City). This is the 25th year of an event celebrating the "future birthplace of Captain Kirk" from Star Trek. This year, original series cast members who played Chekov, Uhuru and Sulu will be there.
I have photos of some of the landmarks of the town on my other site:

I am also uploading a video tour at this moment to YouTube.
If you can't make it to Des Moines for the Central Iowa Celtic Festival (on the same Saturday), maybe you can beam forward a bit and visit TrekFest:
