Along the banks of the Mississippi River there's a place called The District. In the Quad Cities it's known as the place for fun.

Choose Rock Island for the fun of it, and discover so much more to life. It's the vibe of The District - everything from arts and culture to a rockin' nightlife to delicious dining options. Spend one weekend in Rock Island, and you'll understand why we are the pulse of the Quad City area. Enjoy the arts! See a live performance you'll never forget or shop the galleries until you discover that missing piece of art for your home. And after dark, swing into a chic martini bar, the perfect place to see and be seen, or shake it all night long at a dance club. You'll also find our restaurants will satisfy any taste - sophisticated or casual. And the best thing is - it's all within walking distance. Find your niche in rock solid, Rock Island.
