It’s a week full of music! The St. Louis Symphony has been performing a broad musical repertoire with skill and spirit since 1880, and they bring their reputation for excellence to the River Campus this Friday evening.
On Sunday, Willie Nelson and Family are live in concert at the Show Me Center for a night packed with your favorite classics.
Take a colorful trip around our river city and experience the wide variety of murals you'll find all over town! The "Welcome to Cape Girardeau" Mural on the river side of the floodwall is a great place to start soaking in local murals. It's an Instagram-worthy spot that sketches the history of our community. On the town side of the floodwall, the "Mississippi River Tales Mural" contains 24 panels covering nearly 18,000 square feet. Each panel brings to life - almost literally; historic characters and events seem to leap off the concrete floodwall!- a different historical event in Cape Girardeau.
A stroll along this mural as you read the storyboards in front of each panel tells you the story of our town. Further south, again on the town side of the flood wall, the "Missouri Wall of Fame Mural" highlights famous Missouri faces who were born here or achieved fame in the Show State such as Harry Truman, George Washington Carver and Laura Ingalls Wilder. The nostalgic "Coca-Cola Mural" was originally painted in 1940 and was rediscovered in 1978 when the building was being sandblasted. Coca-Cola Bottling Company had the mural restored to its original appearance, and it's found on the north side of Port Cape Girardeau Restaurant.
