(Radio Iowa) – Another long-running Iowa music festival is undergoing changes. The Englert Theatre in Iowa City has produced the Mission Creek Festival since 2014, but Festival Director Brian Johannesen says anew version is planned for next year. “After ten years, I think that we felt like the Mission Creek became such a huge part of our identity and what we do, and we’re so grateful for that, but we’re ready for the next chapter,” he says.

The Greater Des Moines Music Coalition announced in October that the 80/35 Music Festival it has put on since 2005 is ending and its future is not determined. Johannesen says the new festival will be produced by one of the festival’s co-founders.

“I think, on the whole, you know, we’re ready to kind of move on to some different exciting festival ideas that we’re working on, and needed to just kind of clear some space,” Johannesen says.

The Mission Creek Festival’s 20th season before the change will be next April in Iowa City. Organizers of the 80/35 event said there are now many music-related organizations and businesses in central Iowa that are well-positioned to continue the event.
