Culture Bright Summer Series 2026

In 2026, the inaugural Culture Bright Summer Series was a full week of immersive cultural experiences across the Quad Cities, presented by The Cultural Trust and its Legacy Partners.

More than a series of events, Culture Bright is a community-wide investment in belonging, creativity, and regional pride, advancing a bold vision: establishing the Quad Cities as the most inclusive creative capital in the Midwest. It’s an invitation to explore new places, support local organizations, and experience the region through a cultural lens.
