Herky On Parade Herky the Hawk is back On Parade! Check out the 100 statues on the streets of Johnson County! For silent and live auction information, please call 319-337-6592.

In 2004 Herky on Parade was the largest public art project ever produced in the Iowa City/Coralville area. It was a collaboration with the University of Iowa, the Iowa City/Coralville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, City of Coralville and City of Iowa City. It’s 20 years later and time to celebrate the 20th anniversary with 100 Herky statues and a new pose. Over 50 artists, both local and regio

nal, have participated in creating these works of art. Starting May 1, 2024 the Herkys have been “on parade” for public display and come down August 26, 2024. The Herky on Parade Final Farewell will take place on August 30 in Coralville's Iowa River Landing at FRY fest, www.FRYfest.com. Following the parade, the Herkys will be auctioned off to support the Foundation for the Iowa City Community School District and Clear Creek Amana School District to support ongoing art education programs.
