Established 2001 | Always free!
The last weekend in February is filled to the brim with events in all our reader regions. In Iowa City, check out a showcase of Moth wordsmiths at the Englert, or get your burlesque on with Bawdy Bawdy Ha Ha’s first ever “Kink-Themed Cabaret” at the James. In central Iowa, Ballet Des Moines unveils three world premieres at Hoyt Sherman Place. And in Dubuque, DBQ Pride presents “Love Winds: A Night for Pride at Monks,” a fundraiser taking over all three floors of the venue.
