Don’t be scared… Halloween is this weekend! After a year of abbreviated celebrations due to the pandemic, this year is shaping up to be frightfully fun. If you’re too big to go trick or treating, here’s how SL is celebrating Halloween 2021.
An unofficial kick off to the season of giving and the excitement of the holidays, the St. Louis Sports Commission just announced the recipients of the 2021 Musial Awards.
The Saint Louis Art Museum announced the promised gift of 22 works of art from Emily Rauh Pulitzer. Composed primarily of paintings and sculpture by 20th-century European and American artists, the gift includes major works by 17 artists, including Pablo Picasso.
The critcally-acclaimed Yellowjackets kicked off the first live performance at Jazz at the Bistro (or as I like to call it, Jazz St. Louis) last night to a virtually sold-out crowd despite the Cardinals/Dodgers game at the same time. And they didn’t disappoint.
Since Halloween looked different last year due to the pandemic, treat your little ones (and yourself) to an experience that’s so much fun, it’s scary! Halloween fun is all aboard at St. Louis Union Station, from October 8th-31st. Highlights include a Haunted Maze, Train Tours, and of course, rides on the St. Louis Wheel.
Beautiful things are meant to be seen. And, retired health care executive and community volunteer Dick Miles is making that his mission.
