Thanks to our great sponsors, entertainment at the Des Moines Arts Festival is FREE TO ATTEND! Line up for the 2023 coming soon!

The festival features two stages - the Hy-Vee Main Stage offers an explosive variety of live music from regional and national touring acts. The Roots Stage has a laid-back vibe of Americana and new music.

Seating is casual and available on a first-come, first-serve basis; early arrival is encouraged for each night’s headline acts. Blankets and lawn chairs are welcome.
