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.”
