About the CRACVB
Cedar Rapids Freedom FestivalThe Cedar Rapids Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (CRACVB) is where the experience starts for visitors, residents and organizations.
Since 1979, the CRACVB has been responsible for attracting new destination events to the community, providing service and support to existing and repeat events, providing comprehensive information to area visitors and helping drive decisions of future visitor product development. Locally the organization encourages community pride and educates the community on the value of visitors, tourism and travel.
In 2010, tourism resulted in domestic travel spending of $619 million and employed 5,800 people in Linn County. View our FY2011 Annual Report for additional information.
