Join us for Panther Caravan in Des Moines!

The University of Northern Iowa will host the 2026 Panther Caravan, powered by MidAmerican Energy, May 12-14 as they travel throughout Iowa. Join us for this year's Des Moines Panther Caravan at Jasper Winery.

The Panther Caravan provides the opportunity for UNI fans to socialize with and hear from UNI coaches, President Mark Nook, Director of Athletics Megan Franklin and other special guests. Fans will be able to connect with Panthers from your area in a family-friendly atmosphere complete with fun activities and great food.

Back by popular demand, Starbecks Smokehouse from Waterloo will join us for a Panther backyard barbecue just in time for summer.

Plan to join other UNI fans throughout the region to celebrate Panther athletics and what it means to be Purple for Life! Registration is free and open to anyone supporting the purple and gold, but we do ask that you RSVP to assist with our planning.
