Bring Dad downtown to experience one of the nation's greatest riverfront towns this Father's Day! Enjoy Ride the River with Dad and explore the Mississippi Riverfront throughout the Quad Cities. Centennial Park's Summer CRAZE and the River's Edge Beach Party are other great ways to spend the afternoon, too.
Another Father's Day downtown option is to spend the evening at the ballpark! Play catch with Dad in the outfield of a professional baseball stadium after the game! Brunch is served at Rhythm City Casino and in Hotel Blackhawk's Bix Bistro. The Day wraps up with live music by Tewanta and Company at Music on the Levee and Willie Pickens at Third Sunday Jazz.
