This evening, you can grab the kids and head over to The Magic House as they host their Free Family Nights , which is always on the third Friday of the month. These special nights enable families to enjoy more than 100 hands-on exhibits in the museum at no charge.
Also this evening, you can join me over in Forest Park for some great local food and entertainment. I’m especially looking forward to checking out DJ Alexis who will be one of the performers on main stage for the first night of the St. Louis World’s Fare.
Tonight, you could also check out to the Third Degree Glass Factory for the opening reception of Art Group 360’s Multiple Choice Exhibit. You’ll enjoy multiple talents, multiple images and multiple themes all for free!

Another option would be to enjoy some laughs with Twisted Improv, presented by the Kirkwood Theatre Guild over at the Steamboat Room in Kirkwood.
Tomorrow, aka Saturday, how about joining the Downtown Architectural Walking Tour for a nice stroll in the morning? It’s a great opportunity to explore the bustling riverfront of the French-American entrepreneurs to the skyscrapers of the 20th century, you’ll find famous architects and engineering marvels!
On Saturday afternoon and into the evening, you can’t miss the 2016 St. Louis World’s Fare Heritage Festival, which kicked off on Friday. It will bring a mash-up of activities and entertainment as we celebrate our St. Louis community through music, art, history, business, and local culinary hotspots. This free event will bring an eclectic assortment of local musicians, performers, artists, food trucks, and businesses to the World’s Fair Pavilion in Forest Park highlighting all the wonderful diversity, history, and creativity our city has to offer. It is also taking place on Sunday, and that’s where you’ll find me and the girls!
Also on Saturday, we have another amazing festival as Rise offers their Rise Up Festival, which is an annual one-day street festival celebration of revitalization in St. Louis. There will be plenty of food and great music and more to enjoy!
You can also check out the second annual Craft on Tap, which promises to be a great time for Craft beer enthusiasts! Of course there will be live music and food!
It’s not too late to grab a ticket and your fancy clothes and join me for the 11th Annual Urban Renaissance Gala which is also on Saturday night, presented by the Urban League Young Professionals!
Later on Saturday night, the tradition continues with the 53rd Annual Moonlight Ramble! Grab your bicycle and head over to Ballpark Village for a bike ride under the light of the moon. The annual Moonlight Ramble is the “World’s Original Nighttime Bike Ride” held in St. Louis, Missouri at midnight near the full moon in August. Attracting thousands of riders each year, the event includes a leisurely bike ride through the streets of St. Louis, a vendor area, entertainment, a commemorative event shirt (It glows in the dark!), and an after-ride party.
On Sunday, the St. Louis Swap Meet will be a great place for a morning or early afternoon stroll to check out some music and great food, along with some great artists, farmers, craft-makers and entrepreneurs at the Riverfront Marketplace.
Also on Sunday, New Line Theatre, "the bad boy of musical theatre," closes its 25th anniversary season at the Marcelle Theater in Grand Center with Andrew Lloyd Webber's one-woman, one-act rock musical TELL ME ON A SUNDAY.
