Events for Monday, February 16th, 2026.
Hey there, Cedar Rapids! 🎉
Partly cloudy and 64? That’s a Monday glow-up in Cedar Rapids. Start your day with yoga and meditation at Prairiewoods Franciscan Spirituality Center or skill-building sessions at Ladd Library, then roll into afternoon book clubs at the National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library. Tonight, it’s choose-your-own-adventure: paint and sip at Goldfinch Tap + Eatery, trivia at The Bar, comedy at CSPS Hall, or music bingo at Sammy's Lounge. Monday just said main character energy only.
A big shoutout to our sponsors, Cedar Rapids Bank and Trust and Gutschmidt Properties for helping make Cedar Rapids Daily possible and supporting all the amazing things happening in our community.
