User Highlight : 8035 Music Festival

What is 8035?

In their words:

80/35 is a multi-day festival, celebrating music and the people who support musicians, venues, DJs, and, of course, fans.

Multiple national bands will play on the main stage. Regional and local supporting acts will rock the side stages for continuous sonic stimulation.  You’ll find activities including interactive art, merchandise vendors, kid’s spots, resting places, food and beverage sales, and, dare we say, a few surprises.

In my words:

It’s an awesome music event downtown Des Moines. The sculpture park turns into a rock concert with amazing local talent. It’s a don’t miss weekend event in Des Moines and something I can’t wait to do again next year.

What is awesome about 8035?

1. It’s local.
2. It always has killer local talent.
3. It always has killer national talent.
4. THE MUSIC!

Rather than explain the music. I thought videos of the performers would be more fitting:

Christopher the Conquered

Cashes River

Spoon

How you can help 8035

Pepsi has a pretty cool thing called the Refresh Project. We are all fortunate that 8035 was accepted into the project and is in the running for a $50,000 prize. The 8035 music festival raises awareness of Des Moines and Iowa in general. Beside the point that it’s an amazing weekend and the event is amazing, it’s a GREAT thing in the Midwest.
