The neighborhood
Everything Court Avenue is known for, out your door
Saturday mornings
The Downtown Des Moines Farmers’ Market sets up right on Court Avenue every Saturday, May through October — produce, food trucks, and the whole district out walking.
Dine & socialize
Court Avenue's restaurants and bars are the reason the district exists. Most nights, you can walk to dinner and back without moving your car.
Game nights
Principal Park, home of the Iowa Cubs, is a short walk south — no parking lot required.
