Events for Wednesday, February 25th, 2026.
Hey there, Cedar Rapids! 🎉
Wednesday in Cedar Rapids brings a wintry mix and a high of 33°, but there’s plenty happening indoors. Start with GERI-FIT at Ely Public Library or gentle flow at Hands in Harmony, then connect at Memory Café at the Chris & Suzy DeWolf Family Innovation Center for Aging & Dementia. Kids and teens can dive into story time or D&D at the Cedar Rapids Public Library, while entrepreneurs gather at NewBoCo. The evening stacks up with trivia at NewBo City Market, a documentary screening at Coe College, live music, board games, and more. Rain or snow, Wednesday’s covered.
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.
