All-Day Concert in Ankeny
Bring your family and enjoy a great day of music, art and food- the suburbs are cool too!
Organized each year by the Ankeny Jaycees, Ankeny Unplugged is an outdoor music, arts and food festival held right in the center of Ankeny at the Ankeny Bandshell, 410 West 1st Street. This year, the concert is Saturday, August 8 from 12:00 to 9:00pm. The 2015 concert line-up includes:
- Abbie & the Sawyers
- James Biehn Trio
- Monday Mourners
- The Host Country
- Twins
- Maids
- Gloom Balloon
- The Pines

In addition to these great shows, there will also be some awesome art vendors and great food trucks that everyone can enjoy. This event is a great opportunity for parents to expose their kids to a little culture while taking the opportunity to kick back and relax in a safe, family-friendly environment. There’s lots of parking at Hawkeye Park and the adjacent Parkview Middle School. So, bring some lawn chairs, a blanket and get ready to have some fun!
Cost is $15 in advance at Tikly.com. Tickets will also be sold at the gate on the day of the event. Children 12 and under get in free. The Ankeny Jaycees has a long and proud history of giving back to the community all over Ankeny and proceeds from the event will be given to the Ankeny Art Center for Summer Art Camp scholarships. Don't miss Ankeny's summer concert tradition!
