Described as "lush, appealing and genuinely moving" by The Daily News, Jekyll & Hyde hits the stage of the Adler Theatre on Tuesday. This enthralling musical has memorized people all over the world and is one show you won't want to miss. Get your tickets now! Next door, you can participate in the Quad Cities Prayer Breakfast at the RiverCenter Saturday or the Festival of Praise Tour on Monday at the Adler.
Help Mac's Tavern celebrate a whopping 80 YEARS of business in downtown Davenport this weekend during their 80th Anniversary Celebration! Kick-off the festivities on Friday during customer appreciation cocktail hour from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. and a bags tournament starting at 10 p.m. Let the good times roll into Saturday with an antique car show at 11 a.m. followed by live music and good company later that evening. As always, you can expect superb service and friendly faces!
Looking for a good time this weekend? Look no further than River Music Experience when they present A D* Good Time Volume 8 tomorrow night. Make an evening of it by stopping at this Friday's LAST Live @ 5 in the courtyard featuring Curtis Hawkins Band beforehand. On Wednesday, the Shook Twins bring their indie folk-pop tunes downtown with opening act Under the Willow. Venture on back Thursday for the Chicago Farmer Vinyl Release Show as well.
The end of September is near, which means one thing- Final Friday at Bucktown Center for the Arts! This month's event is a fall fundraiser on behalf of the Central Community Circle Food Pantry. Donations of hygiene products or non-perishable food items are excepted and appreciated, and a portion of the night's sales will go to the cause. Make sure you stop in Atom Studio+Gallery while you're there to see The Artwork of David R. Anderson: An Artist's Walk Into Nature, which opens tomorrow night.
Surround yourself with African American Art Since 1950 in a new exhibition over at the Figge opening on Saturday. Highlighting a range of media, style, and content, this exhibition demonstrates the growing prominence and complexity of African American expression. Bring the family along in honor of FREE Family Day and explore the many other exhibitions while you're there. And don't forget to come out for tonight's Living Proof Exhibit PechaKucha Night!
With a beautiful weekend ahead, there's no reason to miss the Freight House Farmer's Market on Saturday. Make this trip fall themed by picking out your favorite pumpkin, seasonal veggies, and handmade crafts to ring in the autumn season. Hop on over to Modern Woodmen Park for a ride on the Ferris Wheel this weekend, too!
