One of Des Moines’ summer concert series is “on hiatus†this summer, and it’s not because of COVID-19.
Nitefall on the River will not take place in 2021 as their usual venues, Brenton Skating Plaza and Simon Estes Ampitheatre, are closed for the summer, according to a Tuesday morning tweet.
Hello everyone! We wanted to let you know that this year’s Nitefall on the River season will be a little different. As our usual Brenton Plaza and Simon Estes Amphitheater locations are closed this summer, we are taking a break from Nitefall at this time. (1 out of 2) pic.twitter.com/gcDt5z2rtN

Further acts will be announced over the summer.
