Event Calendar

Fridays In the Park will feature a variety of tasty brews and bites, all served by a selection of the best food trucks and mobile food vendors in Des Moines.
Set within the mature tree canopy east of the Lauridsen Amphitheater in Water Works Park, the Biergarten is returning with favorites including large steins of German and local draft beer. Along with favorites like bratwursts, hot dogs, and pretzels, we’re introducing a variety of other German street food items, such as German currywurst fries, to tantalize your taste buds.
Yard games, large picnic tables, and hammocks are also features of the Biergarten. We’re proud to announce that a portion of the revenue generated from Fridays In the Park will be donated to the Water Works Park Foundation, supporting their important work in maintaining our beautiful park.
Join us, from 5 to 9 p.m. most Fridays through September 12. There will be a few exceptions for holidays, concerts, and private events, which will be announced in advance.

As the title of his recent album Hyperspace would imply, eight-time Grammy-winner Beck has traveled light years from his emergence as a reluctant generational spokesperson when “Loser” exploded from a rejected 1992 demo into a ubiquitous 1994 smash. In the decades since, Beck’s singular career has seen him utilize all manners and eras of music, blurring boundaries and blazing a path into the future while simultaneously foraging through the past.
