Weekly Events Header
Hello!

bandshell Last week we enjoyed the debut of Friday Live at 5, and we're excited to announce that Music on the Levee is also returning for the summer at the newly renovated LeClaire Park Bandshell!  The Josh Duffee Orchestra starts the Sunday series with a free show in the park.

 

Don't miss BeeRME for Music, the fourth annual beer tasting fundraiser for River Music Experience!  This event features a large array of local and regional beers, hour d' oeuvres, and live music by Curtis Hawkins Band.  Plan to have a good time for a great cause!

 

Learn about the history of brewing at the "Suds!" Exhibit at German American Heritage Center! The exhibit opens on Sunday with a lecture about the history of Prohibition in Iowa from Father George McDaniel of St. Ambrose University.  Across the street, plan to take in a River Bandits game when they return home on Tuesday and Wednesday.


Miss Iowa takes over the Adler Theatre on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night.  This state-wide competition features young ladies competing for the opportunity to move on to Miss America.  Also, I AM Productions will present Issues of Life at the RiverCenter this Friday and Saturday.

 

The Figge ushers in the new Waxing Poetic exhibit on Saturday and brings the Locating Place exhibit to a close Sunday!  Learn more about the unique relationship between art and poetry.  In addition to Thursdays at the Figge, a sold out "Wine & Art!" kicks off the week tonight!  The Museum Tour allows a great time to explore on Sunday afternoons.

 

RME will also host The Coop with Brothers Rage on the Redstone Room stage Friday night!  The forward-thinking band's core sound is driven by breakbeat, dub, and jazz.  Friday Live at 5 this week features the Jason Carl Band, and be sure to visit RME to see MASQC, 45 on High, and Retro Ron, as well.  Check out Songwriters in the Round, Live Lunch, and an Open Mic Night, too.

 

Enjoy even more live music at Rhythm City Casino this weekend during performances by Adam Beck and Meet the Press.

 

See you downtown!
