Icestravaganza 2015 is finally here! Head out to our new location at the Freight House to watch award-winning ice sculptor, Dawson List, carve ice sculptures live on site. This event will offer FREE indoor kid's activities including a cookie decorating station, crafts, story time, and more. The Farmers Market will remain open until 4 p.m. so you can shop local, too! Get in the winter spirit and hop to River's Edge for public ice skating that afternoon.


Ain't no party like an after party once evening hits. Come on back Saturday night for heavy hors d'oeuvres from Front Street Brewery, a live DJ set by Just Let Go, a cash bar with a vodka luge, and good company during the Icestravaganza After-Party. After-Party tickets are only $10 and can be purchased here or at the door. What a perfect time to see the ice sculptures professionally lit at night!

 

 Featuring wine samples from local wineries and wine distributors, River Music Experience's Winter Wine Experience is back for it's seventh year Saturday! Sip and sample wine, munch on hors d'oeuvres, and enjoy a performance by the Manny Lopez Septet during this benefit for RME and their musical mission. You can still hit this event and catch Icestravaganza, too.   Tomorrow, kick back to some blues/rock tunes from the Nick Schnebelen Band in the Redstone Room.

 

 Considered to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls is sure to be a hit at the Adler Theatre on Wednesday. This oddball romantic comedy will steal your heart...and laughs. Make a night of it by attending the pre-show dinner at the RiverCenter. Also at the RiverCenter this week- the Big Brothers Big Sisters Putt-A-Round. Go miniature golfing in the winter and help youth in the community all at once. May the putts be with you!

 

 If you're in need of some warmth this week, look no further than downtown Davenport. Grab a fresh cinnamon roll from Oh So Sweet and treat yourself to a New Orleans Style Ice Coffee at Redband Coffee Company before heading to work. Stop by SiS International Shop for some comfy cozy fair trade socks, hats, and more while you're out! We feel warmer already...
