MAY OUTDOOR MUSIC CONCERT:
Sunday, May 25th 2025
There is a local organization of musicians who love to get together to preserve and play music from the traveling shows that were popular 100 years ago. Music was a very big part of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The "Big Top Circus Band" will be performing a FREE concert in LeClaire -- during a weekend in May -- and they will play the music that was written and performed specifically for the Wild West Show.
The exact time and place is yet to be determined...We will post updates as they become available. For the most current information, please visit our Facebook Page.
