Fly Private to Dubuque, Iowa
Dubuque’s 58 000 residents live amid Mississippi River bluffs and ride the world’s shortest, steepest scenic railway, the Fenelon Place Elevator.
Riverboat casinos, manufacturing expos and America’s River Festival bring 2 000 private jets through DBQ annually. The team at Just Landed Jets queues gangplank transfers for paddle‑wheel cruises.
Fly Private to America’s River Festival in Dubuque
The first full weekend of June turns Port of Dubuque’s riverfront into America’s River Festival, blending country headliners, classic‑car parades, and Mississippi paddle‑wheel cruises since 2005. Families browse heritage exhibits by day and sing along to chart toppers by night.
Attendance hovers around 25 000, but its economic ripple tops $5 million and fills DBQ’s limited FBO spots fast. Fly in with Just Landed Jets for gangway‑side shuttle service and reserved balcony seating at the star‑spangled finale. Your cabin fridge can even stock locally brewed Shandy for the quick hop home.
Iconic Dubuque Eats: Must‑Try Local Cuisine for Private Jet Travelers
Catfish fritters, beer‑cheese soup and caramel‑pecan rolls feed riverboat crowds; German taverns pour dunkelweizen brewed since 1855. Our team can ensure you get there, so you can pack Mississippi mud pie jars and craft root‑beer growlers for a smooth sail above the Father of Waters.
Pepper Sprout — A True Dubuque Experience
Chef‑owner Kim Wolff has showcased seasonal Heartland cuisine in this brick‑walled Main Street dining room since 1990, pairing Iowa pork chops with blackberry demi and sourcing greens from nearby family farms. Candle‑lit tables and Mississippi‑River art create an intimate vibe downtown. Pepper Sprout continues to win accolades for elevating Midwest flavors without losing Dubuque’s friendly charm.
