Des Moines music venues like the House of Bricks, People's Court, and Vaudeville Mews currently cannot hold all ages shows past 9pm. This takes away from making Des Moines a vibrant music community for all of its citizens.

Sign this petition to show your support to allow all ages shows in Des Moines.

The current city code (Sec. 10-8) doesn't allow minors in a licensed liquor establishment after 9pm. The previous Designated Music Venue Ordinance, which addressed this issue, failed to work due to unrealistic requirements of the music venues. Smaller music venues should be afforded the same rules as other venues such as Hoyt Sherman Place, Civic Center, and Wells Fargo Arena. An exception to city code Sec. 10-8 needs to be addressed to allow minors to attend shows at smaller music venues.

We would like to encourage the Des Moines Music Commission, City Managers Office, Police Department, and City Council to explore and pass alternatives to allow Des Moines' younger citizens a better opportunity to be exposed to music at venues of all sizes.
