Midwest Modern is June 14, 2026
HOME TOUR: Sunday, June 8 from 12 PM to 5 PM
Get tickets to our annual home tour, which showcases four stunning examples of mid-century architecture and interior design in Des Moines. Not only do the tours provide excellent architectural examples of the era, but they also exhibit how to bring mid-century styles to homes of every decade. Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Iowa Architectural Foundation. Tickets usually sell out in the first 24 hours, so grab 'em while you can! ON SALE MAY 3 @ 9:00 AM.
COCKTAILS: Sunday afterparty
After the home tour on Sunday, join other mid-mod enthusiasts at The Bartender's Handshake. Included with your home tour ticket is a free drink ticket, which is valid for either an Old Fashioned or a Tom Collins. This portion of the event is open to everyone 21+ from 2 PM to 7 PM.
The Bartender's Handshake is located at 3615 Ingersoll Ave. Des Moines, IA 50312
