We are ready for beautiful art, a glass of wine and amazing live music," says Jenny Donaldson, Webster Arts executive director.

Circus Flora is going underground! The caves beneath St Louis have fascinated the city’s residents for generations. Each cave has its own story, its own mystery, its own secrets. In “The Quest for the Innkeeper’s Cask,” Circus Flora’s troupe seeks an ancient relic, rumored to have mystical powers, and believed to be somewhere beneath the city’s streets. But it seems that someone does not want the Cask to be found—the closer it is, the more obstacles and boobytraps seem to be in the way. Acrobats, daredevils, aerialists, comedians and more tell this wondrous story in a way that only Circus Flora can. Remind your family that adventure and excitement are everywhere, even underneath our city’s streets! Tickets start at $10! https://www.metrotix.com/events/detail/circus-flora

The French Heritage Festival celebrates 300 years of French culture in North America from Quebec to New Orleans and recognizes Ste. Genevieve’s status as having the greatest concentration of authentic French Colonial architecture that exists in North America. Early birds can enjoy a guided Audubon Bird Walk at 7am. Opening ceremonies are conducted on the steps of the Church of Ste. Genevieve at 10:30am, where “Marie Antionette” and “King Louis XVI” will make an appearance. French carols by the Ste. Genevieve Chanteurs, a salute by the Ste. Genevieve Milice, a traditional benediction, and a Grand Promenade through the historic district will follow. Throughout the day, festival activities center around the downtown including music, dancing, storytelling, skill demonstrations by re-enactors, children’s activities, French Colonial architectural tours, beer/wine and other refreshments. Live music concerts featuring traditional Creole music and fiddle playing by Creole Stomp and Dennis Stroughmatt et L’Esprit Creole are a major highlight of the event. In the evening, the Felix Valle State Historic Site will host La Veillee, a demonstration of traditional French dancing. Sponsored by the Foundation for Restoration of Ste Genevieve.
