This Week in Downtown Davenport: 10/3 - 10/9

By QC Chamber

The Quad City Symphony Orchestra makes it's return this weekend when American Master pianist, Garrick Ohlsson, performs during Masterworks I: Into a New World. With a performance claimed to be arguably one of the most challenging concerto for piano, this is one concert you won't want to miss. On Wednesday, venture back to the Adler for a contemporary Christian performance by Grammy nominated musician Jeremy Camp.

Attention all PechaKucha Night lovers! You're in for a treat this month when the Figge Art Museum hosts not just one PechaKucha Night, but TWO! Learn about the artists who contributed to current exhibition, Artists First, during next Thursday's PechaKucha Night. Keep in mind the Rug Hooking Class starts this Tuesday, too, with a fall fun theme!

Celebrate the local harvest with seasonal tastings of local foods, live music, a silent auction, and delicious drinks next Thursday at the Quad Cities Food Hub. Here's yet another opportunity to enjoy local foods from local organizations! Until then, get pickled on Tuesday by learning the tricks to the trade of pickling beets during their Beet Pickles class.

The Iowa Route 6 Tourist Association invites you to rediscover downtown Davenport when their retro road trip, "Cruising the Ones," drives through town. Open to anyone with a classic car, come peruse a variety of other makes and models cruising Third and Fourth Streets next Thursday, October 9th. Spectators are welcome- just don't forget your cameras and lawnchairs!

Join Great River Brewery for their Punk'N Mator Tapping tomorrow to kick-off October the right way. Bring your favorite pumpkin dish to share and enjoy an evening full of fall flavors. Speaking of fall flavors, make some time this weekend to swing by Woodfire Grill to try one of their 40 new dishes on their fall menu!

So many things make Downtown Davenport a great place to live, work, and play- one of which being our astonishing riverfront. With Davenport in the running for USA Today's Best American Riverfront, it's time to show some love for our beautiful and unique location along the Mighty Mississippi and vote daily for Davenport!

See you downtown!
