(1)		DUBUQUE...AND ALL THAT JAZZ. Appealing to the interest expressed locally in music, [[DUBUQUE MAIN STREET, LTD.]] annually hosted a free summer concert series in 1992. "Dubuque...and All That Jazz" occurred at a time when the downtown area was still reeling from the economy of the 1980s. Meant to inspire positive views of the area, the first event on July 24, 1992 featured Orquesta Alto Maiz, also known as the "Salsa Band." Hosted in an area beneath the [[TOWN CLOCK]], the band, which became an annual feature, drew an audience estimated at 800. News of the popularity of the event led Governor Terry Branstad to honor the event in 1993 as one of Iowa's nest special events. Encouraged by the response, organizers added a second concert in 1993, a third in 1994 and a fourth in 1997. Genres featured over the years included blues, rock, R&B, and zydeco. Music appreciation stirred by "Dubuque...and All That Jazz" led to the creation of America's River Festival, an annual outdoor concert held from 2004 to 2019 in the [[PORT OF DUBUQUE]]. (1)
