2025 Welcomes our FIRST annual PorchFest DSM, a rolling music festival held on the welcoming front porches and front yards of the residents of Waveland Park in Des Moines, Iowa, on September 14, 2025. This family friendly, free event will feature 6 musical acts from a variety of genres performing throughout our beautiful neighborhood. The welcome tent will be at Perkins Elementary and music acts will be on 44th Street. Festival attendees can migrate from one performance to the next and sit a spell on front lawns and sidewalks to enjoy 45-60 minute sets of live music.�
