Gather at the garten


 

The signs are everywhere: rising temps, rising pollen counts and even rising spirits. It must be spring. Another sure signal? The Des Moines Biergarten is back in business at Water Works Park. The open-air spot on the park’s east edge welcomes the season with a centuries-old German tradition. Maifest returns May 16-17 with German fare, beer and a traditional maypole wrapped in ribbons.
