Quad Cities Live is featuring “Be A Tourist In Your Own Backyard Week” with a discussion about some of the best staple attractions and events that our community has to offer for both residents and non-residents.
Visit Quad Cities assists us in imagining a few possibilities on how folks can enjoy a day or two in the QCA including waking up to a coffee shop (on the QC Coffee Trail) before hitting one of the farmer’s markets. Free bikes are available to explore bike trails prior to stopping off for some shopping and lunch in the Village of East Davenport where you can ride the Channel Cat to support some local businesses on the Illinois side.
There are also plenty of municipal pools and aquatic parks or take the kids to a splash pad or museums to visit, grab an afternoon craft brew at a local brewery on the QC Ale Trail. have some dinner at any of the amazing array of restaurants and taking in some live music at places like Mercado on Fifth or any of the free performances scheduled all over the QCA throughout the season.
