Explore St. Louis

There's nothing better than a fall food festival. Crisp sunny days and the best bites from the top chefs in St. Louis combine to create the perfect day. That's exactly what we've got on tap for this weekend -- it's the annual Taste of St. Louis and all that's missing is you.

The festival kicks off Friday night, September 29 (4 - 10:30 p.m.) and continues Saturday, September 30 (11 a.m. - 10:30 p.m.) and Sunday, October 1 (11 a.m. - 10 p.m.) in Kiener Plaza and along the Gateway Mall downtown.

More than 30 of St. Louis' top restaurants are serving "tastes" from their menus, plus you can watch the Taste of St. Louis Culinary competition and enjoy a Michelob beer garden, artist village, marketplace, family fun & sports zone, an art car exhibit, and much more.

National musical acts include Murphy Lee, Son Volt, Erin Bode and many others performing throughout the festival.

This weekend also marks the return of Gateway Classic Football. Head to the Edward Jones Dome at America's Center on Saturday, September 30, to watch the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff take on Tuskeegee University in some great gridiron action. A not-to-be-missed Battle of the Bands takes place at half time and a 9 a.m. downtown parade kicks off the day.
