Viewing Parties

Cheer, celebrate, and come together with your community at Kingston Yard, Cedar Rapids’ go-to destination for outdoor viewing parties. Whether you’re watching the big game, a season finale, or a major live event, our large LED screen delivers a crystal-clear picture and is bright enough for daytime or nighttime viewing.

With seating for over 350 guests on the lawn in front of the screen, Kingston Yard offers plenty of space for friends, families, and fans to gather. Guests are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets for a comfortable, relaxed setup. Or bring in your own tables, chairs, and linens.

Enjoy the full experience with food, drinks, and ice cream available from the Kingston Yard restaurants, or grab a seat on the restaurant patios offering a clear view of the screen. During sport events, the audio feed can be tied directly into Big Grove Brewery and Pickle Palace, so guests can enjoy the game from their table while still feeling part of the crowd.

Groups and organizations can host their viewing parties with a small sponsorship fee, which includes branding and recognition opportunities during the event. It’s a fun and engaging way to connect with your audience, promote your organization, or support a cause while bringing people together for something everyone loves. Our Iowa Football Watch Parties continue to draw enthusiastic crowds to Kingston Yard for game-day excitement.

Need catering for your party? We have that too! Work directly with any of the establishments located right here inside Kingston Yard - Aroma Pizza, BarTini’s, Big Grove Brewery, and Pickle Palace.
