The Downtown Davenport Partnership would like to say THANK YOU to the tens-of-thousands of people who made this past weekend spectacular! Downtown was jam-packed from Street Fest and RAGBRAI, to the Quad City Times Bix 7 and countless parties stretching across the entire length of 2nd & 3rd Streets. The Bix 7 weekend is growing right along with downtown. A big thank you to our Street Fest title sponsor, Great Southern Bank, too!
Jazz lovers are in for a treat this weekend when the Bix Jazz Festival takes over the RiverCenter, Adler Theatre, and LeClaire Park! This year's festival features some of the hottest bands including The Hot Jazz Alliance, The Thrift Set Orchestra, and more. Find the entire festival's schedule here, and come downtown for back-to-back days of tunes celebrating the life and music of Bix Beiderbecke.
The end of July is here and Bucktown Center for the Arts knows just how to celebrate...with a wine walk, of course! This month's Final Friday boasts a triple threat - art, wine, and jazz. Find beautiful pieces of art both indoors and out while sampling wines throughout the galleries. There will also be jazz musicians and dancers for double the entertainment.
Even though the race is behind us, that doesn't mean you have to stop being active! Join Live Uncommon Summer Series on the Figge Betchel Plaza. Stop by this Saturday for Yoga UNCOMMON in the morning, or a capella music in the afternoon. Can't workout in the mornings? Come to their weekly 5k training at 5:30 p.m. every Wednesday and Thursday.
Now's the time to stop by and see the Figge Art Museum! In honor of it's 10th anniversary, they are offering FREE admission. That's right, all events and programs are FREE until September. Be a true Iowan and check out the Corn Zone exhibition, as well many others throughout the museum. The Figge would like to thank the Riverboat Development Authority for making this available to the community.
Start your weekend off with Friday Live at 5 in the RME courtyard featuring Hal Reed & Mississippi Journey, and continue the party to the Redstone Room with Jerry Garcia's Birthday Bash. Make sure to purchase your tickets for G. Love & Special Sauce for Tuesday while you still can, and plan to return on Wednesday for the up & coming Alana Royale with Busted Chandeliers!
Bask in the beautiful summer weather over at Modern Woodmen Park. The Quad Cities River Bandits are back at home this week battling the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and the Bowling Green Hot Rods. Enjoy the Friday Fireworks or Fan Appreciation Saturday. Bring the kids on Tuesday for a $10 All-You-Can-Ride promotion and BOGO ticket deals. Sit back and relax on the Mississippi River, while supporting your local baseball team!
See you downtown!
