Hinterland Music Festival is a multi-day music festival in St. Charles, Iowa, which was first held in 2015.

Background

The festival is organized by Sam Summers, co-owner of a local music venue and booker for a concert series. Water Works Park, located along the Raccoon River four miles southwest of Downtown Des Moines, was set to host for the first year. Its inaugural edition, however, was moved to St. Charles, twenty miles to the south, due to flooding concerns at the park. It drew a crowd of 14,000 over the two days.

For 2016, the festival announced plans to return to St. Charles.
