Apr 15 Wednesday
Join us the third Wednesday of the month, March 18, April 15, and May 20 from 5:30-7:30p at the Davenport Eastern Avenue Branch for a Death Cafe. At a Death Cafe, people, often strangers, gather to eat treats, drink coffee, and discuss death. Our objective is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'.
A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives, or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session. All are welcome to attend any/all sessions and can participate as much as they are comfortable.

Day One of the Wickedest City Burlesque & Variety FestivalWelcome to the Wickedest City Burlesque & Variety Fest
A celebration of fearless performance, radical joy, and rich cultural heritage in the heart of Davenport.
Once known as “The Wickedest City in America,”Davenport’s Bucktown district rose to infamy in the early 1900s with its vibrant blend of jazz clubs, speakeasies, brothels, and boundary-pushing entertainment. In a time of prohibition and puritanism, Bucktown was where art, expression, and vice thrived, proud, and unrepentant."
