Get ready to savor some delicious bratwursts while giving back to the community, as Brat Days kicks off another year of fun and philanthropy!

Who doesn't love a good festival, especially when there is a lot of food involved?!

And just like that... BOOM! June is over! We've got a list of MANY of the big events coming up in the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City areas in July, as well as some other parts of Eastern Iowa and Des Moines!

Not one, but two meteor showers that have the potential to be really spectacular are going to be highlighting the skies over Illinois for almost the entire month of December, and we'll get pretty good looks at Venus and Saturn, too.
