Join us Friday, August 4 from 5pm-8pm for Acoustic Fridays On The Riverfront featuring FREE live music outside on the plaza from Tom Shadonix! We'll be grilling out with a variety of food options, along with a full bar and a TBA signature drink available for purchase. So bike up, walk up, or drive up and enjoy the music and sunshine! In case of inclement weather, the stage will instead be set up just inside our theater lobby.
This performance sponsored by Ottumwa Legacy Foundation.
