Downtown Davenport Events 9/8-9/15/2016

By Downtown Davenport Association
The 63rd Beaux Arts Fair is this weekend! Tour tons of art and craft vendors lining the Figge Art Museum Plaza during this FREE weekend of art, music, and food.  Kids' activities and vendors will open at 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.

 


If you were downtown or saw any news this week, you heard about food trucks. The first week of the Food Truck Tuesday pilot project proved itself a success! This week, even more food trucks will migrate to Bechtel Park for DINNER hours. They'll be located just west of the Arsenal Bridge from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at 2nd & Iowa Streets. Head on out Tuesday evening for dinner and support the cause!

 

The "honky-tonk hell raiser" Dale Watson is gracing the Daytrotter stage on Wednesday. Witness the "ameripolitan" artist after Christopher Gold sets the tone for the night at 7pm.  This is a rare chance to catch Watson in a small venue right in your own backyard!  

 

Local duo Sister Wife will  open  for Andy Frasco and the U.N. at RME on Wednesday! Frasco gave an electrifying performance in February; let's see how he tops it this time. Grab a lawn chair and a Great River brew on Friday for Live @ 5 featuring Frank F. Sydney's Western Bandit Volunteers. Post Live @ 5, stroll upstairs to the Redstone Room for the amazing Portland Cello Project.  On Saturday, Danielle Nicole Band will bring their bluesy tunes; RME is packed with good stuff! 


Endless Brews will be showcasing two Lion Bridge Brewing Company award-winning beers along with four more selections including a cucumber kolsch. Stephen's Green will take over Me & Billy on Wednesday, complete with corned beef and cabbage. Oh, and Guinness too!


The Preserve Iowa Summit is coming to downtown Davenport next weekend. Be sure to register and check out one of the 35 educational sessions featuring keynote speakers from Preservation50, the National Park Service, and the Univeristy of Iowa College of Law.
