The conflict that drove Des Moines' Oktoberfest to Ankeny
Tickets for central Iowa's largest Oktoberfest go on sale Friday, marking the start of a new era for the long-standing festival after an unexpected move from Des Moines to Ankeny. Why it matters: The move marks a cultural and economic loss for downtown Des Moines,ending a tradition that drew thousands of people each fall. The sudden shift highlights the difficulties local event organizers face in securing venues or support, even for signature events. Driving the news: Oktoberfest Des Moines organizers announced the 16-mile move last week, saying it is " an incredible new chapter" for the event's 21st year that allows it to expand. Yes, but: The move wasn't harmonious. Behind the scenes: After months of planning and with entertainers and vendors booked, event organizers found out March 28 that Turnstile, a hardcore punk band, was scheduled to perform at Water Works Park starting at 5pm Sept. 28. That wouldn't give the crews of the German-style celebration enough time to prepare the area after its midnight wrap-up on Sept. 27, event owner Melinda Toyne tells Axios. "I love the downtown. I've been doing this for 22 years, and it's not fun to restart an event," she said. The other side: Chris Burch, executive director of the Water Works Park Foundation, tells Axios that consecutive concerts or events have gone smoothly and there was no scheduling conflict. He declined further comment. What we're watching: DSM Biergarten, a German-themed popup that is running its fourth season in the park, will host a new Oktoberfest celebration Sept. 19-21, likely from 11am-9pm, owner Alex Davis tells Axios. The big picture: A festival recession has been building for years, with dozens of cancellations this year across the U.S., CNN Entertainment reports. Flashback: The 80/35 Music Festival held at Water Works Park last year had disappointing attendance before the Greater Des Moines Music Coalition, its nonprofit operator, dissolved in October. Its gross revenue from admissions and merchandise dropped over 50% between 2022 and 2024, from about $685,000 to $333,000 last year, according to the group's final tax filing. The intrigue: Oktoberfest probably won't return to DSM, but "you never say never," Toyne said.
