❄️ Icestravaganza will continue into the night with an After-Party (21 & over) from 6 to 8pm. Icestravaganza After-Party Tickets are limited (200): $10 in advance or $15 at the door (your first drink is free with ticket purchase) featuring:

Buying tickets in advance will help you to skip the line when you arrive and guarantees you entrance to the After-Party (tickets sold out last year). Make sure you have plenty of room on your camera or phone to take photos!
After the sun goes down, the sculptures will be lit to make viewing extra spectacular so plan to share fun photos with friends and don’t forget to tag #IcestravaganzaQC! After the party follow the music to the Front Street Brewery Taproom starting at 8pm.
There’s more fun to be had in Downtown Davenport, Iowa-at the many shops, galleries, museums, bars and restaurants.
