Maqtoberfest afternoon & evening, Saturday, September 21st
On the Green in Downtown Maquoketa
6-8 pm - Surf Zombies!! and you can see them for free!
They raise surf rock from the dead with fast, crazy, original instrumentals that straddle retro surf, bubblegum punk and garage rock, conjuring images of beach parties, Saturday morning cartoons, and hot rod car shows. The driving rhythms, swirling tremolo, crashing spring reverb from dueling guitars and authentic growl of vintage tube amps make for a truly weird Midwestern wonder.
3:30 pm
The funnest thing you'll do all day -- this Quad Cities based polka band will help you get your (MAQ)Oktoberfest on!
