Ryan Meetup is Coming to Ryan, Iowa

(And You're Invited)

What happens when people named Ryan (or any variation of the name), gather in Ryan? We'll find out Sunday, July 26th, 2026

The small town of Ryan, Iowa, will welcome visitors from across Iowa, The Midwest, and even as far as Brooklyn, NY, as they join us in Delaware County for a one-of-a-kind Ryan Meetup. 

The gathering follows the Ryan Baseball Classic in Minneapolis on Saturday the 25th, where attendees named Ryan come together for a Twins baseball game and camaraderie. After the game, participants will continue the fun by making the trip to Ryan, Iowa, for a day dedicated to exploring the community, meeting fellow Ryans, and experiencing small town Iowa hospitality.

What to Expect

The day is packed with lighthearted activities designed to celebrate both the visitors and the town itself. Guests can enjoy:

• Meet-and-greet with Ryans from across the Midwest
• A community tour around Ryan led by a true Ryowan
• Ryan-themed food and drink specials
• Fun photo opportunities throughout town
• Live Music
