Plenty to do this fall

A & E guide packed with information

The change of seasons brings a new mindset for entertainment options here in Central Iowa. For some, it is the time for football — and nothing else. But those with a broader scope will find great interest in our coverage of upcoming film, art, music, theater and outdoor events in this week’s issue. There truly is something for everyone.

If live music is your thing, check out the event that the Historic Court Avenue District will host this holiday weekend. Or see a new film that will be released with big stars such as Jerry Seinfeld, Denzel Washington, Nicolas Cage, Ryan Gosling, Uwe Boll, Jessica Alba or Billy Bob Thornton. Better yet, get on the bus with Art Stop and visit some of Des Moine’s culturally-inclined neighborhoods. Reserve your tickets now at the Des Moines Playhouse for “Cats,” which comes to town in September. Or relax and take a horse-drawn wagon ride through Jester Park with a naturalist on board at the Jester Park Equestrian Center. These are just a few ideas; you will find many more inside with specific information on dates, times, tickets and prices.

This is by no means an all inclusive guide, but it does show the range of activities that are available here in Central Iowa. Look to Cityview each week for yet-to-be-released information on upcoming events. And, as always, thanks for reading
