Iowans Show Off Their Favorite Photos From Summer 2025 [GALLERY]

Summer isn't "officially" over until September 22nd, but we're already reminiscing about summer 2025!

Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, I was one busy gal! On top of work and the gym, I went to two Good Makers Markets, several Cedar Rapids Downtown Farmers Markets, the Iowa Renaissance Festival in Amana, the Linn County Fair, the Great Jones County Fair, Palisades-Kepler State Park in Mount Vernon, two graduation parties, an Iowa State Fair new food tasting in Des Moines, the Market After Dark, Iowa Irish Fest, Lost Island Water Park, a wedding in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and three karaoke nights at Blind Pig in Cedar Rapids. Oh, and I went out to eat a lot. Like, a lot. And, my summer isn't over yet! This month, I'll be headed to Cedar Point, the Michigan Renaissance Festival, and Mackinac Island!

Choosing a favorite photo from summer 2025 is a bit of a challenge, but if I absolutely HAD to, it would definitely be one of the pictures I took during my trip to the UP in August. We visited several waterfalls, a nature preserve, a lighthouse, and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. You can check out all the photos I took during my scenic weekend HERE, but I'll include just one in the gallery below!

We asked listeners to share their favorite photos from this summer and tell us the stories behind those photos. Some are scenic vacation pictures, some are memories with friends or family, and others feature adorable animals! Check out what other Iowans were up to these past few months:
