DAVENPORT, Iowa Davenport s Street Fest 2021 will look different and it s all in an effort to support small businesses.
Davenport City Council approved Wednesday, July 14, the liquor license to move forward with the event during Bix weekend. We wanted to prioritize the small businesses, Kyle Carter with Downtown Davenport Partnership said.
What is known as Street Fest has now become Bix Block Parties that ll take over downtown Davenport. It s just a different format and it puts the business owners in the driver seat, Carter said.
More than 20 businesses will be part of the two-day celebration during Bix weekend.
