Hello! | |
An immensely fun week downtown will get rolling when the WQPT- Brew Ha-Ha takes over LeClaire Park on Saturday! Enjoy award-winning beer tasting, comedy by The Blacklist, and tunes by Minus Six. Also on Saturday, plan to bring the kids down to Modern Woodmen Park for Healthy Family Day. This fun-filled event features activities including the always popular NFL Punt, Pass, and Kick Competition!
Just down the road, the Celtic Festival and Highland Games will be taking place in Centennial Park on Saturday afternoon as East-West Riverfest wraps up. Enjoy performances by Celtic bands, workshops, and educational presentations for all ages. Getting married soon? Pop over to the Budget Bridal Fair at the German American Heritage Center on Sunday, too.
Are you a fan of burlesque or Danielle Colby? Don't miss Gospel for the Guilty presented by Burlesque Le'Moustache at the Adler Theatre! Buy your tickets in advance and get great seats. If you'd prefer to hit the ice this weekend, hockey is back at River's Edge as both Augustana College and the Quad City Junior Flames look to begin their seasons.
The QC Rollers return to the RiverCenter for a double-header against the Mid-Iowa Rollers and the Iowa Skate Patrol. Expect to experience exciting flat-track roller-derby! Consider stopping by the Spook Walk at the Davenport Library on Saturday afternoon with the kids, too.
Fishbone comes to the River Music Experience on Monday night! Fishbone will celebrate 25 years of trailblazing their way through the history of American Ska and Rock Fusion. Also, check out the renowned saxophonist Ernest Dawkins during Polyrhythm's Third Sunday Jazz event.
Live Lunch this week will feature Mo, Tony Hoeppner, and Keith Soko. Raise the Roof Thursday, the last Friday Live at 5 of the season, The Pimps, Kidz Days at RME, and Acoustic Music Club round out the list of shows and activities this week at RME.
