Friday Night Taps
Friday Night Taps is a weekly tradition at the American Legion that brings the community together on Friday evenings to honor fallen heroes. During colder months the observance takes place inside the post among the fellowship of family and friends. When the weather is mild it moves outdoors, where the bugle call carries across the open air and the flag stands against the sky. This ceremony offers a quiet time to pause, remember, and pay tribute to those who served, with every note of Taps sounded in their honor. To have a specific person recognized during a Friday ceremony, call the bar and ask for manager Chuck Duggan for assistance. Open to all.

Comic World & GamesCultivate the Light: Summer Solstice Evening Retreat
Cultivate the Light is an evening retreat honoring the summer solstice, created to celebrate the radiant energy of the sun through connection, intention, and renewal. Set on sacred grounds within a beautiful botanical garden in Dubuque, Iowa, it brings people together to recognize the light within and around them. The gathering opens with a welcoming circle and divination to set intentions for the night, followed by soulful yoga and intuitive movement. Participants can craft a wildflower crown or necklace, enjoy light snacks and meaningful conversation, and settle into forest bathing for grounding and restoration. The evening culminates with drumming and a release ceremony to let go of what no longer serves. The focus is on the season’s growth, expansion, and abundance, with time to plant intentions and honor the fullness of summer’s light. The experience is intended to leave participants feeling nourished, connected, and illuminated. The price is $70 per person, and space is limited.
