Mystic Fest

Mystic Fest is a long-running metaphysical gathering serving the Omaha and Council Bluffs area, bringing together readers, healers, spiritual practitioners, vendors, and curious visitors for a weekend focused on exploration, learning, and community.

Held at the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Mystic Fest takes place twice each year, with spring and fall events. The Fall 2026 Mystic Fest is scheduled for October 3 and 4, giving visitors two days to explore a wide range of metaphysical and spiritual traditions.

Guests can meet psychic readers, tarot readers, mediums, energy workers, healers, and other practitioners offering services throughout the weekend. Visitors interested in readings can browse the available readers and schedule sessions directly at their booths. Those hoping to meet with a particular reader are encouraged to sign up early.

Shopping is another major part of the Mystic Fest experience. Vendors offer crystals, books, jewelry, herbs, teas, spiritual supplies, metaphysical tools, gifts, artwork, and other unique items. The variety makes the event an excellent place to discover new creators, small businesses, and resources from the regional metaphysical community.

Education also plays an important role at Mystic Fest. Lectures are offered throughout the weekend and are included with admission. Previous topics have explored subjects such as astrology, chakras, intuition, spirit communication, weather magic, bind-runes, meditation, healing, and other spiritual practices.

Mystic Fest welcomes experienced practitioners as well as people who are simply curious about metaphysical subjects. You do not need to follow a particular spiritual path to attend. You can shop, attend lectures, meet practitioners, ask questions, or spend the day exploring.

The Fall 2026 Mystic Fest takes place October 3 and 4 at the Mid-America Center Exhibit Hall in Council Bluffs. Admission is $5 per day, with children 10 and under admitted free.
