Muscatine, IA – Crossroads is excited to announce the return of the fourth annual FestivALL on Saturday, September 20, from 1–7 p.m. at the corner of Second Street and Pine in downtown Muscatine. What began as a small parking lot carnival has grown into an all-day street festival celebrating seniors and people with disabilities in our community.
This year’s festivities kick off early with the FestivALE Beer Release Party at Contrary Brewing on Friday, September 12, from 4–8 p.m. Guests can be among the first to taste the brewery’s debut red lager, meet guest bartenders, and preview silent auction items.
On Saturday, FestivALL will deliver a full day of live music, games, and giving back. We’re thrilled to welcome Winterland, a Grateful Dead cover band, back after a year off, and welcome newcomers The Insiders, a Tom Petty tribute band. FestivALLgoers can enjoy great music while playing traditional carnival games and exploring new attractions like the Human Slot Machine and the MPW Ping Pong Ball Drop.
“FestivALL is one of the best days of the year. When else will I get the chance to listen to ‘Dancin’ in the Street’ while actually dancing in the street?” said Marc Hines, Crossroads’ CEO. “At Crossroads, we help people who are ‘Runnin’ Down a Dream.’ FestivALL is one way we make that possible.”
FestivALL and our holiday light show, iLLUMINATE, are essential to our mission, with philanthropic support making up nearly a quarter of our operating budget. We are deeply grateful to our stage sponsors—Skinny’s BBQ, KENT, and the Howe Foundation—our carnival sponsors—HNI, Trucks Unlimited, Pearl City Chiropractic, John and Rosy Eichelberger, RNS, and UnityPoint Trinity Muscatine—and our additional event sponsors—Proof Social, CBI, and ESI—for their generosity and commitment to our community.
Sponsorships and silent auction donations are still being accepted for FestivALL and iLLUMINATE. These events give local businesses and individuals a chance to make a real difference while connecting with the community.
Join us on September 12 for the FestivALE Beer Release Party and September 20 for FestivALL—two unforgettable days of music, games, and community spirit. For more information, sponsorship opportunities, or to support Crossroads, email [email protected].
