The City's Public Works Open House on Saturday, May 21, 2022, will be a one-of-a-kind event featuring indoor roller skating, a quilt show, an outdoor movie screening, live music, food vendors, and an open house exploring the new, award-winning Public Works facility!
Running from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 3810 Napoleon Lane, the event is a collaboration with the Old Capitol Quilters Guild. The entire Public Works facility will be draped in beautiful, handmade quilts from local quilters. Even the City's massive snowplows will be included in quilt displays!
The Open House will also include numerous City-centric activities, including:
1. Tours of the new 99,000 square-foot Public Works facility.
2. A City Services Showcase: booths and activities showcasing City services.
3. A free screening of the "Field of Dreams" movie at nearby Napoleon Park at sunset, hosted by Summer of the Arts.
4. The Iowa City Public Library's Bookmobile will be at the event.
The event will provide the first opportunity for the general public to explore the new Public Works Building, which received an award from Architect Magazine.
