Hey there, Cedar Rapids! πŸŽ‰

Storm chances and a high of 51Β° set the tone for a high-energy Wednesday in Cedar Rapids. Kick things off with GeriFit at Ely Public Library or an early ride at The MAC - Midwest Athletic Club, then plug into startups at NewBoCo. Spend the afternoon leveling up at Ladd Library or rolling dice at Cedar Rapids Public Library. After dark, choose your vibe: paint at The Quarter Barrel Arcade & Brewery, catch live storytelling at Groundswell Cafe, test your knowledge at NewBo City Market, or celebrate anniversary week at Lion Bridge Brewing Company. Storms or not β€” this Wednesday is stacked.

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.
