Rock Island-side events include a 3 p.m. park opening with inflatables ($5 wristband), children’s activities, food vendors and a beer garden. Kids can meet the Little Mermaid and Rapunzel at the park. Main stage performances include country oldies music mixed with comedy by The Country Couch Potatoes, a proclamation and military tribute, and performances by Smooth Groove.
