Hello!
|
|
 With July quickly approaching, fireworks, food, and fun activities are right around the corner! Help celebrate America's birthday during Red, White, and Boom! on Wednesday, July 3rd. Don't miss the fireworks and an evening of live music, family activities, and a chance to honor our Armed Forces on both sides of the river.With the unpredictability of the Mississippi River, the Davenport activities are moving from LeClaire Park to 2nd Street between Ripley and Main streets. All activities on the Rock Island side will remain at Schweibert Park. The high water and quick current means we have to relocate the fireworks from the river to land, too. Stay tuned for more details on the fireworks soon.
 Next week, the Mississippi Valley Blues Festival kicks off on July 4th and due to the river levels, the three-day festival will also move from LeClaire Park to 2nd street from Ripley St. to Brady St. in Downtown Davenport. Additional stages and workshops will be housed in the river Music Experience and the RME courtyard. Show your love for blues at one of the finest fests in the country and catch Kenny Wayne Shepherd along with many more amazing bands! The show will go on! The co-founder of the legendary American rock band Little Feat will make an appearance at the River Music Experience this weekend! Hear a live performance from Bill Payne while viewing his photography during Tracing Footsteps: A Journal of Music, Photography, and Tales of the Road. Drummer Gabe Ford will also be there, making this a night you won't want to miss. Tonight, spend An Evening with the Portland Cello Project and prepare to be wowed by a mix of genres and blurred musical lines.
What's more beautiful than the art of giving? Participate in a growing international movement when the Figge hosts the Papergirl Project Workshop on Sunday. If you're looking for a fun, informal way to interact with fellow community members, head to the Figge tonight for PechaKucha Night and share ideas or interests ranging from recent travels to various hobbies. A new exhibition also opens this weekend. See art composed of material gathered right here in the Quad Cities in the No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service Exhibition.
 With the end of June upon us, it's time for another Final Friday! Bucktown presents an Education Celebration for this month's Final Friday series celebrating the art of area students. Enjoy this special exhibit with hors d'oeuvres, drinks, and more! On your way over, stop at Major Art & Hobby to check out their in-store Fourth of July specials! Gallery 114 will also host a Grand Opening and Birthday Bash on Saturday with live music by Movers and Shakers! If you haven't picked them already, be sure to purchase your tickets for Grace Potter & the Nocturnals before they perform at the Adler Theater July 13th! This week, get your music fix this at RME's Live at 5 featuring Jason Carl & The Whole D Band. Make sure you stay to vote for this week's Rock Wars winner when The Atlantis Dialogue and Dynoride face off, too.See you downtown!
