Live Entertainment

If you enjoy live entertainment, Muscatine boasts many options for you to catch a show. Our community theater, Pearl City Players, is thriving; maybe you would even consider being in a production? If you enjoy live music, you cannot miss the symphony orchestra. They host a free public concert on July 4th.

Fun Festivals

What would summer be if you did not attend a festival? Muscatine holds an annual Independence Day celebration rivaled by few. Starting the day with a pancake breakfast, enjoying the afternoon listening to live music performances, watching the 5:00 pm parade, and staying up late for the fireworks will make your holiday one you will never forget. If you do not enjoy the big crowds, consider joining for Second Saturday instead. Second Saturday is a once a month arts and music street festival held in historic downtown from 5-8 pm on the second Saturday of every month; June through October! Lastly, the Muscatine County Fair lasts from July 19th-23rd and has a plethora of activities to enjoy, even a car race and talent show!

With all these options to attend events in Muscatine, there is no reason to stay cooped up inside this summer. Join the community and find the right event for your preferences. Muscatine offers the best in summertime events and fun.
