Oskaloosa, Iowa - My Hometown! 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I grew up in Oskaloosa and came back here after attending college and I wouldn't have it any other way. This is a family friendly community with several different things to do, no matter what time of the year it is.

Summertime is especially grand here as we have a parade and fireworks in July, several street festivals with lots of music, and a carnival comes to town too! We have several different parks for the kids to spend the day playing at, or camping locations where you can hike and fish as well if you choose.

Living here is really great, it's a happy, friendly place that I am very proud to call home! Read Less
