Come celebrate the 4th of July in the Quad Cities on the riverfront! You can watch the fireworks on both sides of the river, including viewing areas at Modern Woodmen Park and LeClaire Park in Davenport, as well as Schweibert Riverfront Park in Rock Island. Fireworks will be launched off of TWO barges, making this years' event the biggest yet!
We'll have food, drinks, live music, and plenty of fun activities, so make sure to bring the entire family. A huge thank you to our presenting sponsors Genesis Health System and Riverboat Development Authority for making this show possible.
The Figge is turning 10 years old this year! Be sure to head downtown to celebrate their milestone in a variety of ways. The 10th Anniversary Exhibition opens this Sunday with a FREE reception and talk from the curator himself on Thursday. To get more of the Figge, sign up for their recurring workshops, or get active at the Figge Plaza through Live Uncommon. Either way, there's always a reason to visit!

Enjoy a variety of FREE events this week brought to you by River Music
Experience. Stop by at the popular Live @ 5 concert featuring The Blackstones this Friday, as well as the Acoustic Music Club and A Taste of New Orleans later in the week. With good music & good people, there's no reason to miss these FREE events.
