Established 2001 | Always free!
For many among us, this is the last weekend of holiday shopping. Why not forgo that stress and check out the events in our Weekender instead? Dancers and choreographers across the state convene in Iowa City for a holiday edition of the Iowa Dance Festival. In Des Moines, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band celebrates a Creole Christmas at Hoyt Sherman Place. And Rozz-Tox welcomes the winter weirdos in the Quad Cities, as they celebrate their third Winter Solstice Spectacular.
