About 80/35
As the signature event of the Des Moines Music Coalition, 80/35 draws over 30,000 people to downtown Des Moines annually since 2008 to celebrate new music from Iowa and beyond. After twelve editions, the festival paused in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 2022 will be the thirteenth edition of 80/35.
Proceeds from the festival are invested back into the community through programs that work to support musicians and music professionals of all ages in Des Moines. This includes music education programs with Des Moines Public Schools, music summer camps, professional development programs for musicians, and local music showcases including Gross Domestic Product.
