The term “best” is loosely defined as: something that’s the pinnacle of excellence or the most desirable choice.  Stated simply, “the best” is something great that a lot of people desire or want.  Runde Auto Group has always strived to be the best dealership they are capable of being and that’s largely the reason why Runde’s has become the biggest dealer group in the Dubuque vicinity over the past 25 years. 

2023 Best Fest Voting

Runde’s would like to say “Thanks” to everyone in Dubuque and the surrounding community who voted during best fest this year.  When the votes had been tabulated, Runde Auto Group was notified that they had again won  “Best Local Dealership” and “Best Place for Auto Service” in the Tri-State area.   Runde Auto Group has now been voted Best Fest winner in the Dealership category for eight consecutive years as part of the annual Best Fest benefit.

What is Best Fest?

Best Fest is a large event put on by Hospice of Dubuque where people from the Tri-States are asked to vote for the local businesses they like best in about of categories like: Best Hair Salon, Best Place for Lunch, Best Supper Club, Best Cup of Coffee, Best Place for Pizza, Best Golf Course, Best Local Brewery, Best Dealership, et cetera. 

Normally local Businesses that have been voted as Best Fest Winners can showcase their “best” offerings at the Best Fest event/celebration in downtown Dubuque at the Grand River Convention Center. Locals from the community are usually encouraged to purchase tickets for the event and then visit all the booths and partake in free samples and free merchandise.  The event normally attracts thousands of people and it has become a highly anticipated yearly event in the Dubuque local business community.  However this year, due to the pandemic, Best Fest winners are being asked to provide a special offer for a Best Fest coupon booklet. These will be available for sale beginning March 1st on the Hospice of Dubuque website and all the proceeds will go directly to Hospice of Dubuque.
