Hello!
Start off the new year by celebrating local! Ring in 2014 with Me & Billy's with an all you can eat Fiesta Buffet, drink specials, a champagne toast, DJ Twisted Mic, and more! At River Music Experience, celebrate the new year with friends, drinks, and folk rock music during the NYE Show with The Giving Tree Band! You can even head to the RiverCenter for the NYE 2014 Retro on the River: Too White Crew

Barrel House 211 If you're looking for a place to stay the night and live entertainment with hor d'oeuvres, Hotel Blackhawk is holding 10 rooms at a discounted price for the first ticket holders that are attending the New Years Bash at Barrel House 211. If you're hunting for something a bit more family oriented this week, head to The River's Edge for ice skating.  The Freight House Farmers Market is always a fine option, too.    

Until then, you'll find even more entertainment at River Music Experience this week. On Saturday morning, participate in the Community Drum Circle which features improvised rhythms and a time to groove with friends. Later on, venture back for a night of live progressive bluegrass when Cornmeal takes the stage. Cornmeal is always a blast, so bring your dancin' shoes and get down to some jamtastic bluegrass!

Hello!
The arrival of December means it's time for holiday shopping! Participate in the Downtown Davenport Holiday Shopping extravaganza this weekend to find unique gifts for all friends and family members. Choose from an assortment of specialty chocolates, fair trade or antique items, locally-brewed beer, and more! Grab your downtown passport, visit at least five businesses, and have the retailers sign your passport  for a chance to win prizes from various downtown hot spots.
Spend your Saturday morning in the Davenport Skybridge for Handmade City Holiday 2013! Browse hand-made works of over 30 vendors including Oh My Ganache Unique Confections, Totes & Toggles, Kettle Art, and more!. Be sure to take advantage of the gift wrapping, coffee, and treats, too! Afterward, check out the Holiday Wine Walk over at Bucktown Center for the Arts. Purchase a wine glass decorated by a Bucktown artist and taste from a selection of six unique wines. Be aware of their extended holiday hours this weekend; they're open on Sunday from noon to 4!
River Music Experience will be hosting the return of songwriter, entertainer, and lyrical storyteller, Pokey LaFarge on Sunday! With a creative mix of early jazz, string ragtime, and folk, this performance has much in store for you.  Recently signed to Jack White's record label, Pokey LaFarge is an act you don't want to miss in your own backyard!  Tonight, hear a mix of reggae-rock and dub when John Wayne and The Pain take the stage.
Keep the holiday spirit alive through the ensembles of the St. Ambrose University Music Department. An Ambrosian Christmas: Music Showcase heads to the Adler Sunday with performances by student groups such as the Symphonic Band, STAMVOJA, Bee Sharp, and more!  With the mission of enriching the cultural life of the QC, the Quad Cities Symphony Orchestra will also perform the third installment of their Masterworks Series on Saturday.
Discover an assortment of handcrafted jewelry, luxurious scarves, books, and more when you shop at the Figge Art Museum Store during the Downtown Holiday Shopping event. Receive $5 off a purchase of $30 or more with this coupon. The Figge also gives thanks to their members this weekend during their Member Appreciation Weekend. Members receive free gift wrapping on all purchases, plus receive double discounts on select items in the store! Bring a guest and attend the Advent Tour on Sunday for free!
Hear the beloved American holiday classic, It's a Wonderful Life, as it comes to captivating life as a live 1940's radio broadcast at Hotel Blackhawk Sunday. Bring the whole family and dine on a delicious brunch while listening! Continue on with the holiday festivities Tuesday for the Freight House Farmers Market Open House Christmas Party. Shop fresh and local to Christmas music and take photos with the elf or Mr. & Mrs. Claus! Remember, the indoor market is open all winter long.
If you're still looking for a one-of-a-kind gift for that special someone, head to the Boho Chic Fine Art Gallery in Bucktown for a Quad City landmark print. Find beautiful, nostalgic photos of the QC that are great decorations for homes and offices. You can even choose to print the image on fine art canvas, acrylic, or metal!
See you downtown!

Weekly Events Header
Hello!
What better way to prepare yourself for the most wonderful time of the year than by attending the Quad City Arts Festival of Trees! Kick off the week-long event the right way and head to the Holiday Parade on Saturday at 10:15 a.m. Now's your chance to see the largest helium-balloon parade in the Midwest. Make sure to fill up on Breakfast with Santa beforehand! Stop on by the Figge afterward and check out the latest exhibitions and interactive family galleries for free in honor of the Festival of Trees Free Day.
In need of some holiday gifts? Look no further than Downtown Davenport! Partake in the Downtown Davenport Holiday Shopping extravaganza December 6, 7, and 8, and explore all of the shopping options available this holiday season. Find unique gifts ranging from fair trade items, locally-brewed beer, specialty chocolates, handcrafted pieces of art, and more! Bring along your downtown passport and have retailers sign it. Those of you who visit at least five businesses will be entered into a gift certificate drawing for places including Salon Static, Mac's Tavern, and others!
Beatles! The Adler Theatre has quite the line up of events this weekend! Tonight, watch live cake and cupcake decorating demonstrations by TV's infamous baker, Buddy Valastro: the Cake Boss! For you Beatles fans, 1964 The Tribute takes the stage tomorrow. You won't want to miss this performance by the world's best Beatles Tribute band. Looking for more? Enjoy two days of Burleque fun on Saturday and Sunday with a "Shimmy Baby Shakeoff" show, a VIP after party, and "Please, Have Mercy" awards during the Iowa Burlesque Festival.
3rd Street The elves have been hard at work to make Mac's look like a winter wonderland this season! Stop by Mac's Tavern before or after the parade on Saturday for some coffee, hot chocolate, and other tasty beverages.  Their staff put major effort in to some magnificent Christmas decorations, so stop in and get in the holiday spirit! Mark your calendar to stop back on Thanksgiving before the Turkey Trot for warm or cold beverages, too.
Tomorrow, kick back and enjoy some original roots-rock when King of the Tramps takes the stage at the River Music Experience. Venture back on Saturday for a night of salsa music in the Redstone Room when Orquesta Son Del Tumbao performs some of the hottest Latin music in town. Come out early to learn some salsa dancing secrets before the show so you can dance the night away!
Introduce your taste buds to some holiday flavors at Great River Brewery tomorrow at the Imperial Gingerbread Stout Tapping. Stick around for the after party, too! Head to Barrel House 211 tonight for their new Wine-tini Thursdays. Grab some dinner and take advantage of some great deals, like 1/2 price bottles of wine or 1/2 price martinis!
See you downtown!

Hello!
Haunted Round up the family tonight and head downtown for the 2013 Halloween Parade! The parade begins at 7 p.m. at the corner of 3rd and Brady Streets. Click here for a parade route map.  Before or after the parade, enjoy new pasta dishes from Fresh Deli by Nostalgia Farms while watching "Rocky Horror Picture Show." Help create a Halloween tradition! Keep the scares going by heading to the last night of the Davenport Jaycees Haunted House afterward.
What happens when you mix Stephen King, John Mellencamp, and T-Bone Burnett?  You get the incredible Ghost Brothers of Darkland County! Don't miss this southern supernatural musical at the Adler on Sunday night!   Until then, zombify yourself for the Rise of the Zombies after Halloween party at the RiverCenter on Saturday. Keep in mind the Iowa Pro Bikini and NPC Battle of Champions presented by Liquid Sun Rayz is at the RiverCenter this weekend, too.
Stop by the Figge before the Halloween Parade tonight and hear from local community members as they share their ideas and interests through photos during PechaKucha Night. Did we mention there'd be complimentary appetizers and a cash bar, too? If you're looking for another event for the whole family, venture back on Saturday for El Dia de los Muertos Family Fiesta! Enjoy interactive galleries and studios along with photo ops, delicious treats, and more.  Go ahead and tour the Day of the Dead Exhibition while you're there!
The River Music Experience is also continuing the celebration of Halloween festivities into the weekend for this month's Deja vu Rendezvous series tomorrow night. Come dressed up in your Halloween best for a musical performance by Have Your Cake. The band will be the host of the costume contest...prizes included!
Treat yourself to a night of home brewed beer and homegrown artists Saturday at the German American Heritage Center. Enjoy German style beer from MUGZ, a DIY printing project, hot pretzels and more during GAHC's second annual beer tasting and fundraiser, Arts and Draughts! Give the kids a chance to have some fun on Sunday during a lantern making workshop to celebrate St. Martins Day!
VOTE Last, but certainly not least, remember to VOTE on Tuesday, Nov. 5!  Do your civic duty and vote in Tuesday's local elections.  Remember, you can even register the same day you vote in Iowa!  So if you've recently moved or you're a student in college, registering and voting is still a piece of cake.  Click here to find your voting location and for easy instructions on how to vote and what to expect on Tuesday.
See you downtown!

Hello!
If you missed the shows at the Adler Theatre last week, there are plenty more coming to make up for it! The second installment of the Quad Cities Symphony Orchestra Masterwork Series takes place Saturday Night. Turn up the dial on Monday and experience a hot new Broadway musical full of explosive dancing, irresistible songs, and a tale of fame and love during Memphis. See more live talent when the stars of America's Got Talent arrives on Wednesday.
There's quite a bit of hustle and bustle at the River Music Experience this weekend! The 10th Annual Smooth Jazz Fall Festival kicks off on Friday featuring a performance by jazz guitarist Paul Brown. On Saturday, discuss the history of jazz, era's of jazz, and more with Marion Meadows during a Smooth Jazz Workshop. Stick around for the Don Estes Student Showcase "Musical Spooks" right after and then a saxophone performance by Marion Meadows later that night! Until then, boost your spirits at the high-energy live show by Davina and the Vagabonds in the Redstone Room tonight.
With the end of October quickly approaching, it's time for another Final Friday! Decorate your own masquerade mask and wear it around Bucktown Center for the Arts for their Halloween edition of Final Friday. Enjoy special fall drinks, light fares, flash light shows, and face painting throughout the galleries. Check out some magic by Mathew Lovecraft or get a photo with a cool Halloween backdrop in the Small Wonders Photography studio at a discounted price. It's a night of fun for the whole family!
Take a night off from cooking dinner and head to the Figge for their last cookout of the season instead! After dinner, learn more about the newest exhibition, Walter Haskell Hinton: Illustrator of Corporate History, during the Curator Gallery Talk with Nathan Augustine. Looking for something new to do this weekend? Polish your handwriting to a beautiful finish with the Petrarch style on Saturday by attending the Art of Handwriting Workshop. Don't forget to mark PechaKucha Night down on the calendar for next Thursday, too
Stop at the Freight House Farmers Market on Saturday and buy local this weekend! Be sure to bring the kids along for the Halloween Costume Parade in the morning. Speaking of parades, this year's Halloween Parade will be on Thursday, October 31, starting at 7 p.m.  Click here for the parade route. Don't let your sweet tooth miss the opportunity to Trick-or-Treat in Davenport on Wednesday from 5-8 p.m. Be sure to visit the Jaycees Haunted House while you still can, too.
See you downtown!
