The Heights of the Era

For the first time in 11 years, Dixieland jazz of the 1920s will be part of Bix 7 race weekend again with a new music festival – The Heights of the Era.  The first Heights of the Era music festival will be free, all day Saturday, July 24, 2021, in Lindsay Park in the Village of East Davenport in Davenport, Iowa.  The Heights of the Era organizers have assembled a best-in-the-country lineup of musicians from New York, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and Chicago. 

The Heights of the Era will start with the race at 8 a.m. with music on the race course until it moves to the Main Stage in Lindsay Park at 9:30 a.m. and continues for the rest of the day.  The lineup can be found at TheHeightsoftheEra.com. The headlining performer will feature a 10-piece orchestra at 9 p.m. 

The Heights of the Era is a BYO event – meaning “Bring Your Own” lawn chairs, lawn blankets, picnic baskets full of food, coolers full of beverages (adult beverage is allowed).  People can also pre-purchase a pass from the website for the MyButler Concierge Service to bring all your stuff.
