Yes, that's right, the freakin' Surf Zombies! Coming to our stage for Maqtoberfest evening!

6-8 pm On The Green in downtown Maquoketa as the last act of the evening and our last act of the summer.

Surf Zombies raise surf rock from the dead with fast, crazy, original instrumentals that straddle retro surf, bubblegum punk and garage rock, conjuring images of beach parties, Saturday morning cartoons, and hot rod car shows. The driving rhythms, swirling tremolo, crashing spring reverb from dueling guitars and authentic growl of vintage tube amps make for a truly weird Midwestern wonder. Surf Zombies have played in all corners of Iowa and frequently visit Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, and Nebraska. They twice shared the stage with the late surf guitar godfather Dick Dale, have a beer named after them from Iowa Brewing Company, and received the Spirit Award from the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.

Food trucks. Surf Zombies at 6:00 following The Muzik Krauts at about 4:30 and another act . Free admission. Family-friendly. Bring lawn chairs or blankets.
