Live music is returning to the River Music Experience, at 2nd and Main streets, Davenport, next month for the first time since Covid-19 shut down events in mid-March.

Live@Five Returning to River Music Experience Courtyard in AugustThe outdoor Live@Five series will resume in the courtyard, totally free, for all ages, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. each Friday in August and September. New guidelines will be enforced, to ensure safety of guests, staff and musicians –

  • Face masks are required for entry and bar service. Guests will wear face masks when not seated and when not able to maintain six-foot distance from others.
    • Seating will only be allowed in the boxes marked on the ground, which can seat up to 3-4 people in the same group. When seated, guests may remove their masks.
    • Bring your own chairs! They will not be setting up chairs as in the past.
    • Capacity will be limited to about 80 people total (compared to a past maximum capacity of 275). Entry will be first come, first served. When the space reaches capacity, no additional guests will be admitted unless other guests leave.
    • A limited number of face masks will be available for guests that do not have one.
    • Hand sanitizer stations will be provided.
    • Some additional seating will be available on the Tacobar patio. (Food and beverage purchase may be required.)
