Events for Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026.
Hey there, Cedar Rapids! 🎉
Showers in the forecast and a high of 45°, but the day is packed across Cedar Rapids. Start with Tai Chi at Ely Public Library or caregiver support at the Chris and Suzy DeWolf Family Innovation Center for Aging & Dementia, then explore native plants, backyard chickens, or book club at the Cedar Rapids Public Library. Embrace the full moon with forest bathing at Prairiewoods Franciscan Spirituality Center or a guided night hike at Indian Creek Nature Center. After dark, it’s your pick: trivia at Mulligan's Pub, comedy at Old Neighborhood Pub, or anniversary week fun at Lion Bridge Brewing Company. Rain or shine, there’s no shortage of ways to plug in.
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.
Forecast: Chance of showers, high of 45°, low of 34°. 🌦️
