The Des Moines Biergarten, a family-friendly, pop-up German-themed beer garden located, is set to open for the 2025 season with a new offering, Fridays in the Park. We’ve designed this event with families in mind, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
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. June through September from 5 to 9 pm
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.
