Noted by The Boston Globe as having "a brave, beautiful singing voice," Maine native Howie Day is sure to impress with inventive melodies during his return to River Music Experience tonight! Tomorrow, wind down at Friday Live at 5 featuring Natty Scratch. Stick around to hear the legendary blues/roots rock sound of River Roots vets The Nighthawks in the Redstone Room, too. Want to dance? The entire top floor of RME will be full of lasers, vendors, and live music on Saturday for A D Good Time Volume 5.
The end of August is here, which means it's time for another Final Friday! Head to Bucktown Center for the Arts on Friday when Atom Studio + Gallery shows the "Women's Project. This Final Friday also features a second Wine Walk for those who missed it in July! Receive 5 free wine tastings from the various galleries when you purchase a $10 hand-painted wine glass! Bring along some back-to-school items to donate to children in need, too.
Our newest downtown business, General Assembly Tees, will be hosting its grand opening party during Final Friday at Bucktown! The Parish Festival has even made the long trek back to Davenport from Austin, TX to play some tunes at the event. We're thrilled to have them back in town! Beyond the fashion presentation by SK models, you can expect "zombies, unicorns, and martinis." Sounds like fun!
It's PechaKucha Night at the Figge! Have no idea what we're talking about? PechaKucha is super fun, quick, and anyone can sign up to show 20 images, each for 20 seconds, while you talk about your passion of choice. Gain a better understanding of the beautiful, historic buildings right here in Davenport during the Figge's Architectural Walking Tour of Downtown Davenport on Sunday. Or, work on your self-portrait skills during their Pop with Color--Drawing Workshop on Saturday. While you're there, explore the new Jazz Exhibition that opens on Saturday and plan to attend Project Greenspace next week.
Get your bikes ready this weekend for a ride along the river when Live Uncommon presents a Critical Mass Citizen Ride. Start at the Freight House for a press conference and then ride along the river bike path with local bicyclists. Make sure to register before Friday for this FREE event. Venture out a little early to shop around the Freight House Farmers Market beforehand, too.
Speaking of events with wheels, the Quad City Rollers are back at the RiverCenter this weekend for a home bout! A portion of the proceeds from each ticket will even be given to a local charity. The River Bandits are home this weekend too, so head down to the riverfront if you're in the mood for some late season baseball.
