Hinterland Music Festival
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.
