Fireworks of Okoboji 💥 available now on YouTube

Summertime in Okoboji, Iowa explodes with life, activities, and jobs. A pyrotechnic job falls to Tal, who is tasked weekly with a show that reminds us what it means to be American. Fired from the waters of West Lake, the fireworks draw families and boaters together under the same sky that lights up the lake.

It’s here — our Season 2 finale. 🥂

A Night Out in 1926 drops you right into a summer evening at the Iowa Great Lakes, nearly 100 years ago. You’ll arrive by train, stroll through the amusement park, slip into your glad rags, and dance under the lights of the Casino.

There’s Prohibition mischief in the air, fashion straight from the pages of 1920s style magazines, and a boat ride home with the music still ringing in your ears.

Thank you to our friends Cole Clawson from Dickinson County Museum - Iowa and Jonathan Reed from Okoboji and the IOWA GREAT LAKES history books!

And thank you to everyone who tuned in this season. Your support, listens, and messages make every story worth telling. We couldn’t do this without you. ❤️

Folks, this one’s special. ❤️ Love Stories from Okoboji features five real couples — each with their own path, each rooted in the same extraordinary place.

We’ll take you to the Majestic Roller Rink in the ’60s. Gerk’s Resort in the ’70s. Even Taco House over a plate of nachos.

We thought we were making an episode about summer love. But we found was something deeper — a reminder that beautiful things can grow from very ordinary places.
