Hinterland Festival Heat Prep | Des Moines News

Hinterland Music Festival is heating up in St. Charles, Iowa—with new stages, shade tents, bathrooms, and cooling centers to beat the heat. Last year’s “90 Degree Guarantee” refund policy is back, but only if temps hit 90°F by the Monday before the event (and you must request it by Tuesday at 5 PM). Currently, no festival days are forecasted to hit 90°F, though Thursday’s 89°F high may feel like 94°F—still not enough for a refund. Artists are also lining up, with organizers now booking dream acts they never imagined. Check the lineup and details on their website.
