Highlights for Glow Wild 2019

Are you ready for the 4^th annual Glow Wild event at the Jester Park Nature Center? We sure are and can’t wait to see you there! Some of your favorite activities will be back again like canoeing, glow-in-dark climbing walls, horse drawn wagon rides, and the signature bonfire.

We are beyond excited to have live music by The Georgia Satellites and local Des Moines band, Suede this year. Suede will take the stage at 6:30 PM and The Georgia Satellites will follow at 8:00 PM. You don’t want to miss the bonfire lighting in between performances at 7:45 PM.
