A Look Inside / AUGUST- From the Publisher
It ’ s hard to believe that summer is winding down , as many parents , teachers , and students are well aware . Where did it go ? Is it my age or my job that has allowed these beautiful summer days and festival filled eves to fly by ? Hanging on to the final threads of my tattered flip flops and rust colored river swim suits , I ’ m searching for what is on the horizon . OK ! Here it is !
Last year , our August focus changed in order to partner with some of our community ’ s major music and theatre companies as they introduce their upcoming seasons . And so it is again . The August issue includes the fall 2016 / 2017 schedules for the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra , Heritage Center , and the Grand Opera House . This will excite you . Something for the young and the old ( er ), I promise . Season ticket sales have begun , so check out the amazing entertainment list and get tickets for a date night or a night on the town with friends . Last year , I decided to continue a tradition I followed with my own children while I lived in Minneapolis . I began taking granddaughter Izzie to summer musicals made for kids and mainly performed by kids . Well , she ’ s hooked , and so am I . Her taste for live performance , dance , and music has matured – we have moved up to ballet . This is great !

I noticed that the Symphony ’ s performances have moved back to Five Flags and wondered why , until I saw the full and unique preview of what the University of Dubuque ’ s Heritage Center has lined up . If your interest is African inspired barefoot tap and rhythmic percussion , shadow dancing , Brahms Symphony No . 3 , or Willy Wonka Jr ., you will find a few performances to tickle your fancy . With a new Arts and Culture master plan under consideration by our City Council , we are changing . Not only will our community benefit from a more organized approach to the cultural lay of the land . But we will see new avenues for performers , venues , and audiences . Arts and culture create opportunities for individuals to connect through events and activities that promote and provide insight into the beauty of diverse cultures living right here in our town . Dubuque currently has many organizations offering arts and cultural events . According to a study completed by Americans for the Arts , total attendance of Dubuque County residents at arts and cultural events was 738,363 in 2010 . Organizations such as the Multicultural Family Center ( MFC ) provide great opportunities for cultural learning and celebrate our diversity . Try a cooking class there next month for a chance to prepare and taste recipes form all over our world . August is a perfect time to take a trip to Galena and experience the powerful punch of garlic at the Galena Garlic Festival happening August 13 and 14 . Taste signature samples from Fried Green Tomatoes , the Goldmoor Inn , Sugar Ray ’ s BBQ , and many more celebrated restaurants . It FREE with a good will donation .
