I've been coming to the Des Moines Art Festival for years…read more Food truck, drinks, live music pepper the streets of Downtown DSM. They have the streets around the PapaJohns Sculpture park blocked, which is the perfect addition to the festival. Artists come from all around the US to get into this festival. The art is higher quality. If you wish to add to your collection you may have to shell out a little more money. They do include local art students. Local school children's art. There are interactive art instillation's. This year we contributed to a piece they will put in a local school when completed. They gave us a tile and a little visual to try and match. Then they sprayed them to lock in the medium for installation at a later time. We like to get involved in these almost every year. Get yourself an adult beverage and sip and enjoy. We take a slow walk around the booths. We try and take in as much as we can. So many different varieties of art and mediums. They have live music , performers, film and sometimes you can catch live demos. Thousands of people come down. This year they added a sensory space for people who need a break from the craziness of it all. Street parking where you can find it. You can bring your kids or fur babies. Although it always seems to be so darn hot, that I wouldn't recommend the fur babies on the hot streets. We try and go one of the first days cause it gets crazy busy the rest of the weekend. You will always find something new each year. Go and enjoy it. I don't have a bunch of pictures cause I always get so immersed in the event I leave my phone in my pocket. It is also frowned upon if you don't ask the artist permission before. So my lack of photos is an excuse for you to go check it out.

From its not-too humble beginnings at the Des Moines Art Center to one of the nation's preeminent spanning several city blocks, the Festival has become a great cultural gathering place. Printers, painters, sculptors, filmmakers, musicians... there really is something here for everyone. Admission is free for the three days the festival runs each year. The art is priced from take-me-home-now to no-way-in-my-wildest-dreams, the people watching is solid, and the free entertainment is usually worth much, much more than the price of admission (which is, don't forget, free).

Unless you'd like poor customer service and frankly, bad products with diamonds falling out of your…read morering, I'd avoid Iowa Diamond like the plague. This review is a long time coming - I finally had the time to sit out and write our poor experience with them over the last decade. It started in 2011 when we lived in Des Moines and together picked out a few settings/diamonds we liked. We were engaged in June 2012 and less than a month after wearing the ring on my finger, the first diamond fell out. We should have known then that this would be a long road of fighting Iowa Diamond for them to do the right thing. They replaced the ring setting right away - using my original diamonds but having the manufacturer create a new version of the setting we purchased. But that product or customer service didn't last long. Soon, months later, another diamond fell out. We took it in and they replaced the diamond. However, over the last nine years, I have had diamonds fall out SIX different times - four of which took place in a four-month period. Let it be known that I don't shower with my ring, sleep with my ring, swim or work out with my ring. I wear it during the day (I work in an office) and that is it. Each time a diamond has fallen out, I have paid for them to get replaced out of my own pocket (approx. $90-$110 each time), but in 2020, I had enough and went to Gina (VP) to ask her to make it right. Sadly, Iowa Diamond did not do the right thing. The only option they gave us was to pay $800+ to have a new setting created by the manufacturer. After much deliberation, we took the option because we thought that was all we had to work with. I'm aware that the setting of my ring is pave, and that Iowa Diamond claims it "may be more prone to losing diamonds," but I have two main issues with that being used as an excuse. The first, is that when we met with our sales person, Pam Storey, she never once mentioned that would be something to be mindful of. In fact, the majority of the rings she showed us had that style. Secondly, my wedding band is also pave style (but from a different jeweler) - and I have NEVER had an issue with that ring, and I've had it for eight years. I cannot and will not do this every eight years. It's not reasonable for us - I have zero friends or family members who have EVER had to have their diamonds replaced let alone the entire setting itself. So beware before you purchase from Iowa Diamond. Because even if you do have a problem with them, they will not make it right and you'll be paying for your ring over and over and over again.
