The Cedar Rapids Jaycees are sad to announce the discontinuation of Uptown Friday Nights. Due to COVID-19 causing financial hardships and a large dip in membership, we no longer have the resources to put on the shows. We are so thankful for the community jamming with us all these years and look forward to our new projects that will continue to support the Cedar Rapids area.

From our family to yours. We hope you have a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend!
