Do More with YPC and 80/35

YPC is proud and excited to be a part of this year’s 80/35 music festival this Friday, July 6 and Saturday, July 7 in Western Gateway Park.

80/35 is an annual, multi-day festival celebrating music and the people who support it: artists, venues and fans. Nearly 50 national, regional and local bands perform on three stages over 4th of July weekend in downtown Des Moines. It is a dynamic cultural event with an expected attendance of more than 30,000 people from across the metro.

Do More Village

As part of 80/35, YPC helps plan the Do More Village. The Do More Village features local nonprofits to provide an informative, fun and interactive component to the thousands of festival attendees. This is an opportunity for local nonprofits to reach and educate thousands of concertgoers, potential volunteers and interested participants, all while they enjoy the music festival.

If you’re planning to attend 80/35 we hope you’ll stop by - the Village is open from 4 to 9 pm Friday and 11 am to 9 p.m. Saturday. There will be free giveaways and lots of fun interactive activities.
