First, the Des Moines Arts Festival is the big one. It’s coming up so be prepared to show up in Western Gateway Park.
- Friday, June 26, 4-10 pm
- Saturday, June 27, 10 am – 10 pm
- Sunday, June 28, 10 am – 5 pm
The festival website is so thorough and easily navigated that I couldn’t add anything worthwhile; you should go there for all of the information:
- a listing of artists and links to their websites
- listing of performing artists with links
- the live music
- street theater
- interactive arts
- food
Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, Des Moines Arts Festival is free.
The second show in town is ArtFest Midwest. It’s at the Fairgrounds and it’s also free.
- Saturday, June 27, 10 am – 6 pm
- Sunday, June 28, 10 am – 5 pm
There will be a free shuttle between the two events.
