So glad to go in person again! Everything as amazing as always. So much talent there on so many levels. Free admission and free live music happening all day every day. Plenty of places to sit and rest if you need to. Every type of art from all over. Just love it! There are food trucks, beer, and sweets available all over. Expensive so bring extra cash! The creative zone has many interactive things for kids to participate in, mostly free of charge. There was a big crowd so patience helps. Lots of dogs (which I love, but many others don't). All were on leashes, however we still witnessed a couple dog fights. Scary. Easy to lose track of time there is that much cool stuff to look at and purchase. We look forward to this event every year.

Love this festival! I went twice this year. I took three children and we were busy and having a blast the whole time! Fun for the whole family! So much to see, do, and most importantly EAT! Yum! Parking can be tricky so figure that out before you leave home. Must see event!

Incredible event for Des Moines showcasing some of the best artists from around the US. Live music from great national acts, food trucks, and more. Family friendly. Great experience!

I have been going to this festival since it began, and it has changed a lot. more music, film festival, more sponsors, etc. it is generally a great event, though I do feel the quality of visual art has fallen some. I realize that is subjective, but I keep seeing the same type of themes and styles over and over. I also did not appreciate having to run the gauntlet of aggressive cell phone and other salespeople at the entrance. just...

Food prices are steep, as are some of the drinks, so be prepared to throw money around at this one. That being said, it is usually a good time (despite the heat), good free shows (love the Host Country!), and always a lot of talent to be seen. It's one of the quintessential summer things to do...
