What Downtown Des Moines Residents Love Part 4
In what may seem like a blast from the past, here is part 4 of the ongoing series detailing what people that live downtown love about it.
This time we asked “What is your favorite yearly event.”
And we got a lot of responses on this one!!!
- Farmer’s Market
- Wine Fest
- State Fair Parade
- St. Patrick’s Day Parade (and the green diet held afterwards)
- Caucuses (I know it’s 4 years, but it’s still fun!)
And the one answer that we heard more than any other……any guesses?
- ART FEST
We’ll be back again soon with part 5 of this series, which is asking what the best thing to do downtown is……

I think that I have to agree with all of the above. It is so hard to choose one event, I love them all equally! I also love the love out door concert on the Simon Estes Amphitheater. It’s just not summer if you aren’t groovy on the river under the starts. OH and the walking to an Iowa Cubs game….that is summer in downtown Des Moines.
