 Bix 7 Weekend is upon us! Vendors, festival foods and drinks, and music galore await you during the 42nd Annual Street Fest! Presented by Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center, Street Fest will be full of firefighter water fights and family activities on 2nd Street, too. Be sure to download our Bix 7 Weekend Street Closure Map, and remember to park in the ramps; it's easy, cheap, and close to main events.
Of course, the Quad-City Times Bix 7 is the reason for the season, and we can't wait to see thousands of people running up Brady Street again! For those of you running the Bix, Jr Bix, or Quick Bix, registration and packet-pick-up will take place at the Orthopedic Specialists Sports and Wellness Expo at the RiverCenter tonight and Friday.

Yet another bash is taking place right next door to Bucktown during the 2nd Annual Barrel House Bix Bash!
