We make 3 things…Music, Love, Jokes
That’s what we do here at The Punching Panda corporation. Our music is live, high energy, and often requiring audience members to participate. There are no set lists, no iPads with the lyrics, and no pre-recorded tracks. Our show is nothing but raw, unfiltered fun directly main–lined into your eyes and ears, like eating a freshly slain unicorn.

Full schedule here

Interested in renting the VIP tent with shade, seating, and a personal beverage server? Email Bobbie for more information.

Hey, if you like awesome free music at Music in the Junction, consider donating.

Getting Here

Here is the map link to our office in the heart of the Farmers Market.

Find driving routes and parking instructions.

Finding parking can be an issue on event days. If wanting to avoid parking congestion, or driving isn’t an option, there are two DART routes available which pick up and drop off near Fifth and Elm streets: the Ingersoll/Valley Junction Local Route 11 and the West Des Moines Loop Local Route 72. These routes will be redirected during Farmers Markets.
