Events + Classes in Des Moines: June 2019
When I describe to people why Des Moines is so great to live in, one of the top three reasons is how much there is going on at a feasible pace!
There is a rise of little communities. Every organization, facility, and space seems to be holding events that are positioned to gather people and showcase something or someone.
And I am all in!! I love meeting people, especially people who are equally satisfied with Des Moines and want to support one another and make this growing city still feel close.
Those people make up the experience that I so enjoy when attending these events!
Here is this month’s events and classes that I would love to be able to make it to. Realistically, I can’t go to all of them, but I think they are worth writing down! There are also a hundred other great shows and events happening maybe a touch outside of my circle of interest :) Anyway, say hey if we see each other out and about!
