DDP would like to offer a huge THANK YOU to everyone who made River Roots Live an unforgettable event! Between memorable performances from acts both big and small (and plenty of BBQ), we had a total blast.  It couldn't have happened without your support, as well as support from our presenting sponsors U.S. Cellular, Riverboat Development Authority, and Kimberly Car City & Key Auto Mall along our partners Living Lands & Waters and River Music Experience. We're already looking forward to 2016!
 Live Uncommon's Summer Series on the Figge Betchel Plaza is coming to an end. The Figge Finale weekend starts off with a 24-hour Rainbow Rave Pre-Race Party. Continue to Saturday with Yoga or Zumba in the morning, and relax in the afternoon with some more live performances. In the evening, run, or even bike the distance you've been training for!

 Keep cheering on your Quad Cities River Bandits in their final week of regular season games! They saved some of the best promotions for last like Fan Appreciation Night, various giveaways, & Thirst-Day Thursdays. With Friday Fireworks and an abundance of amusement rides now available,  bring down the whole family.  Fear not, our mighty Bandits have made the playoffs, so there's more baseball on the way!

  The German American Heritage Center welcomes the Exhibition: You're A Good Man, Charles Schulz this Sunday. The Exhibition will present on the life and work of Charles Schulz, a cartoonist best known for his work on The Peanuts. Museum admission is $5 or less, so stop by and have some fun at the GAHC!  It's Charlie Brown; how can you go wrong?

 The Figge Art Museum & Genesis Health System have teamed up to bring Genie, a new spokes-robot. Through Genie, people with limited mobility will soon be able to take a guided tour of the work displayed in the museum through their home computers. For more information on this innovative technology, click here.

  September has arrived, and that means Beaux Arts Fair, Quad-City Symphony Orchestra Pops, and Brew Ha Ha are just around the corner!  Our friends at Midcoast will host their big fundraiser via Riverssance over in the East Village soon, too.  Mark your calendars; we've got plenty of outdoor festivities yet to go in 2015.  

For a complete list of the events this week, check out our monthly event calendar on our website.

See you downtown!
