Annual music festival held in Iowa
Hinterland Music Festival is a multi-day
music festival held at the
Avenue of the Saints Amphitheater in
St. Charles, Iowa , which was first held in 2015.
[1] The festival occurs annually in August and is the largest
music festival in
Iowa .
[2] In addition to live music, Hinterland features art, craft vendors, and camping.
[3]
Background
The festival is organized by Sam Summers, co-owner of a local music venue and booker for a concert series.
[1]
Water Works Park , located along the
Raccoon River four miles southwest of
Downtown Des Moines , was set to host for the first year.
[4] Its inaugural edition, however, was moved to
St. Charles , twenty miles to the south, due to flooding concerns at the park.
[5]
[6] It drew a crowd of 14,000 over the two days.
[7]
For 2016, the festival announced plans to return to St. Charles.
[8]
The festival expanded to three days in 2019.
[9]
Hinterland was canceled in 2020 due to
COVID-19 concerns.
[10]
The 2022 festival added a fourth day before scaling back to three days in 2023.
