Hello! | |
The River Bandits wrap up their season this week, so enjoy our beautiful ballpark while you can! Tonight is another Thirst-Day Thursday featuring $2 beer and soft drinks along with All Pro Custom Tattoo Night and Mustache Night. Tomorrow's game is Super Duper Fan Appreciation Prize-A-Palooza featuring fireworks following the game.
Final Friday is back! Come cool off from the "Dog Days of Summer" at the Bucktown Center for the Arts this weekend. Enjoy some tasty summer treats while mingling with some of the area's finest artists. Stop by LeClaire Park this weekend for the Festival of Praise and on Labor Day enjoy a Hog Roast at Rhythm City Casino on Monday.
Drop by the Figge this week to check out the NASA | ART exhibit and museum tour. This exhibit features pieces from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. Also at the Figge, check out Tapestry Weaving, Art Talk, and When We Left Earth - The NASA Missions.
Rory Block dubbed "a living landmark" (Berkeley Express), "a national treasure" (Guitar Extra), and "one of the greatest living acoustic blues artist" (Blues Revue) will bring her act to River Music Experience tonight starting at 8:00 p.m. Also don't miss out on live lunch, RME Guitar Circle and Acoustic Music Club. Davina and the Vagabonds swing in to RME Friday night! Hailing from the Twin Cities, the band's high energy original performances keep them the busiest band in town. Don't miss this gig! Cas Haley and Roster McCabe come to the Redstone Room on Wednesday. Additional RME shows include The David Mayfield Parade, Friday Live at 5, River Prairie Minstrels, and Blues Cafe.
At the RiverCenter this week, Erwin King & DJ Captain's Fourth Annual Old School Reunion Dance will take place Saturday. Keep an eye out for information regarding East-West Riverfest next week, because September is packed with events!
See you downtown and Happy Labor Day!
