Blues at the Arch Festival

Make plans to visit Gateway Arch National Park August 8–10 to celebrate ten years of rhythm, soul, and St. Louis. Gateway Arch Park Foundation's Blues at the Arch is a free festival, and features live performances by blues legends, local eats, and family-friendly fun.

Kids of all ages can dive into hands-on music at a special Kids Korner—made possible by the Mary Ranken Jordan and Ettie A. Jordan Charitable Foundation—which offers a musical “petting zoo,” coloring stations, yard games, interactive sports, and more. (downtownstl.org)
