Alternating Currents features 100+ acts across 30+ venues with a wide variety of music, comedy film and visual arts. It's also the only bi-state, multi-city festival of its kind and Downtown Quad Cities' annual opportunity to flex its creative muscle for the world to see!   AC’s goal is to highlight the vibrant cultural scene, cultivate local creators and showcase businesses that make the region unique. We wanted to create an accessible festival and make a lasting impression on how Quad Citizens and visitors feel about the quality of place in our region.   AC is powered by the Downtown Davenport Partnership and run by a small staff of placemaking professionals and curated in partnership with local creatives and small businesses who host festival programming. Rock Island Downtown Alliance and Downtown Bettendorf Organization collaborate in these efforts and serve as host downtowns.
