Make some time for family and fireworks this Labor Day weekend with the rescheduled Red, White, & Boom set for Monday, September 1! Featuring the largest fireworks display in the Quad Cities along with activities on both sides of the river, RW&B has fun for everyone.
Modern Woodmen Park opens at 4 p.m. in Davenport, so head on out for family activities, the Ferris Wheel, and a showing of the The Sandlot on the big screen at 6:30 p.m. Our friends in Rock Island will be hosting activities at Schwiebert Riverfront Park, as well, starting at 5 p.m. Fireworks will launch at 8:30 p.m.
Engage in conversation and good fun with local community members tonight at the Figge during PechaKucha Night. Here's your chance to learn a bit more about the hobbies, interests, passions and creations of those right here in the Quad Cities! On Saturday, participate in a lively event that allows you to explore textile methods from around the world in the Figge's World Textile Workshop. What a weekend to broaden your horizons!
With September right around the corner, Bucktown Center for the Arts hosts their August Final Friday tomorrow evening featuring an End of Summer Fling and Gallery Night. Enjoy music, summer treats, and a "Local Art Matters" sale, all while having the opportunity to meet art teachers and sign up for various classes offered at Bucktown.
As school starts back up and summer creeps to an end, make sure you head to one of the River Bandits games tonight or tomorrow before regular season ends! Tonight features half-price tickets and their thirst-day Thursday promotion and tomorrow features fireworks! And, as always, don't forget to get your fresh foods and handmade goodies at the Freight House Farmer's Market Saturday, too!
From bakeries and breweries to museums and music venues, there are tons of hot spots in downtown Davenport that locals love. Help spread the word of your favorite spaces and places by voting for your number one dining location, retail shop, and more through Locals Love Us. After voting, check out their directory to see where other locals love to stop when they're in town.
