Summer Concert Series Wraps Up Tonight on the Lawn
East Moline, IL · August 30, 2026
Catch the river breeze early before the afternoon heat settles over the blacktop. Settle into a slower Sunday rhythm with lawn chairs, local tunes, and open markets across the metro.
The Lead
The weekly Sunday tradition on 15th Avenue reaches its seasonal finale tonight at Runners Park. From 5:00 to 8:00 PM, funk and soul group JaCi & The Juice takes the stage to close out the summer concert series presented by East Moline Main Street.
Throughout the warmer months, the shaded park lawn has served as a central gathering point for families, offering free live entertainment alongside local food trucks and picnic setups. Tonight’s show marks the bridge between summer programming and the upcoming slate of autumn events downtown. With warm temperatures lingering into the evening, organizers encourage attendees to bring lawn chairs, grab a cooler, and arrive early to snag prime spots near the bandstand.
