Cedar Rapids Daily: July 6th, 2026

Monday brings a perfect midsummer day to get back into your routine with sunshine, comfortable temperatures, and plenty to do around Cedar Rapids.

Seniors have bingo and community gatherings to enjoy, and the evening wraps up with an outdoor screening of The Princess Bride, a USA vs. Belgium soccer watch party, and a reminder that the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art is offering free admission all summer long—making it a great day to reconnect with the community after the holiday weekend.This podcast is sponsored by Cedar Rapids Bank and Trust.With five convenient locations across the greater Cedar Rapids area and yes, the best cookies on the planet, Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust is a place where relationships and service truly matter.
