Women’s Weekend Out

*View the Complete 2026 WWO Program Here
The 24th annual Women’s Weekend Out in Decorah, Iowa will be April 10th – 12th. This 3-day shopping, dining, and entertainment extravaganza is a long-time favorite. Local shops are reset for spring and ready to host a special weekend for all their customers. Visit your favorite businesses and find new ones. With more than 12 walkable blocks (and surrounding businesses), downtown Decorah is sure to keep you and your friends busy. Special events, store promotions, and new product lines make this a fun weekend to bop around town with friends. Want to add more fun? Consider purchasing an WWO Event Swag Bag! Every participating local business contributes to the Swag bags – find treats, gifts, promotions, and special deals. (note: contents in the bags vary, but all are fun!). Scroll to bottom of this event page to order your Swag Bag.
Women’s Weekend Out is organized by: Agora Arts, Modish, Rendered Unique, The Getup, Interior Design by Emily, and Impact Coffee
