While attendees will miss gathering at 80/35 this year, the DMMC is excited to announce a brand new one-day festival called “The Riverview Music Festival.” Taking place at The Riviera at Riverview Park on September 4, this event will showcase a diverse roster of live music — including national, regional, and local talent — in the city’s most diverse neighborhood.
Festivals like these are just one way the DMMC works towards its mission to make Des Moines a music city. “There are so many exciting things on the horizon,” says Diana Weishaar, new to the DMMC board this year, “from our education programs to artist activation and big events like The Riverview Music Festival. We are focused on growth and inclusivity, and with those goals in mind, the Northside is a perfect place to launch something new.”
Riverview Music Festival is planned for the afternoon and evening of Saturday, September 4. More details about Riverview Music Festival will be announced this summer.
