Kick Off the Holidays Thanksgiving Weekend
After the St. Louis Thanksgiving Day Parade is over and the turkey leftovers are stored, it's time to make plans for the long holiday weekend. There's no better place than St. Louis to celebrate the most magical time of the year.
Holiday light displays are shining at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, Winter Wonderland in Tilles County Park and Santa's Magical Kingdom at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park. Plus, the Saint Louis Zoo gets in on the act at the U.S. Bank Wild Lights, November 24 & 25 from 5:30 until 8:30 p.m.
If you thought Grant's Farm was just a summer attraction, think again. The Magic of the Holidays event begins November 24 and continues until December 1. At the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, the 4th Annual Indian Market Days take place from November 24 - 26 where you can shop for authentic Native American jewelry, arts and crafts and much more.
The candles are ablaze at Eureka's Annual Candlelight Walk November 24 - 26. Shops are filled with decorations and antique, art and specialty shops are brimming seasonal goods. The historic Old Courthouse is celebrating a Century Christmas from November 24 through December 23. Concerts take place on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons around the 25-foot Christmas tree covered with Victorian decorations. You can learn about St. Louis holidays in the past by visiting the galleries.
St. Charles Christmas Traditions -- the annual celebration of the holidays -- begins on November 24 and continues through December 23 along South Main Street. Historic characters, international santas, Christmas carolers, free commemorative trading cards, crafts for kids plus over 100 unique stores are highlights.
The Saint Louis Science Center in Forest Park is the place to see the OMNIMAX movie "Santa vs. The Snowman" throughout the holiday season. And the Gardenland Express: Gateway to the West chugs through the Missouri Botanical Garden until New Year's Day with G-scale trains and miniature versions of St. Louis' attractions and beautiful seasonal plants and flowers.
