A Labor Day-weekend tradition once again blasts into the District of Rock Island in this year's Xtream Rock Island Grand Prix, the August 30 and 31 vent in which hundreds will cheer as participants, from one inch off the ground, traverse city streets at speeds approaching 100MPH.

A beloved local tradition designed specifically for seniors continues into its 26th year when River Action, on September 4 and 5, hosts two days worth of self-guided Senior Citizen Golf Cart Tours, with his year’s event including a tour of the Arsenal Island taking place in the early evening, allowing for a normally unseen look at the Mississippi River and the historic island.

Delivering a blend of local history, environmental issues, education, entertainment, and fresh air, Davenport's River Action will present a series of outdoor presentations in the third and final month of the 2025 Channel Cat Talks and Riverine Walks: weekly programs that, from August 5 through 30, will address such topics as the U.S. Coast Guard, area water quality, the Quad Cities' locks and dams, and spooky tales of Nahant Marsh.

A massive display of one of the venue's six collections storerooms, the long-awaited open-storage locale The Vault will be officially viewable at Davenport's Putnam Museum & Science Center beginning July 19. its shelves featuring countless pieces of fine China dinner sets, 16th-century saddles, a ship wheel, turn-of-the-century furniture, and a full-sized shrine.
