Davenport announces new summer concert series

The Riverfront Improvement Commission, Common Chord and the City of Davenport have announced that The Big 9 Summer Concert Series will be coming to the Davenport riverfront this summer.

The Big 9 Summer Concert Series is the new summer concert model. It replaces the former Music on the River series. It will debut Memorial Day weekend at Veterans Memorial Park. Nine concerts will be held at various locations along Davenport’s nine miles of riverfront.

Riverfront Community Engagement Coordinator Stephanie Bley says, “This new programming model allows for the opportunity to showcase many of our local artists, as well as small businesses, while also shining light on different areas of our beautiful riverfront. By expanding our programming, we hope to reach a wider demographic of Davenport residents. There is truly something for everyone.”
