Events for Monday, February 9th, 2026.
Hey there, Cedar Rapids! 🎉
Monday, February 9th in Cedar Rapids is all about easing into the week the right way. You’ll find plenty of chances to slow down and reset with yoga, meditation, sound baths, forest therapy, and free fitness classes throughout the day. Families can hit storytimes, sensory-friendly activities, and teen hangouts, while adults can build new skills with resume help and computer training. As the evening rolls in, grab friends for trivia, bingo, painting nights, comedy at CSPS Hall, or a Galentine’s wine-and-craft event. Proof that Mondays don’t have to feel like Mondays.
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.
