Dubuque Progressive Holiday Lunch

Join us in celebrating the holiday season in Dubuque – Iowa’s oldest city. With the help of a local guide we’ll tour the city and go inside some of Dubuque’s most appealing historic spaces.  This extremely personal, elegant and festive experience combines food, fellowship and fun!  We’ll begin at the Hills Event Center for an appetizer and tour.  This stunning space, with floor to ceiling windows, stands out for its distinctive architecture of a Second Renaissance Revival style.  Steeple Square (pictured), an icon since 1867, is a beautiful former Catholic Church transformed into a stunning space for gatherings. Here we’ll enjoy live musical entertainment, an intriguing talk about Dubuque’s history and its connection to the mighty Mississippi River and a delicious two entrée buffet. At the Fannie Stout House we’ll enjoy dessert, learn more history about the area and explore this beautiful home.  Built in 1893, the Stout House is a perfect example of eclectic architecture filled with stunning chandeliers, striking stained glass windows and rich woodwork. On our way to Dubuque we’ll make a brief stop at the thought-provoking Dickeyville Grotto.  What a wonderful and festive day to celebrate the Holiday season. Minimal to moderate walking with managing a few steps.
