Grove Fest
Get IN the Grove for the best street party of the year! The 7th Annual Grove Fest will take place Saturday, October 6, 2012.
Grove Fest is an outrageously eclectic FREE street festival in the Grove, a vibrant commercial district here in St. Louis located along Manchester between Kingshighway and Vandeventer. Last year the festival drew over 12,000 attendees, was likened to funky New Orleans street festivals, was praised for the diversity in programming and turnout, and won Best Event Entertainment Concept and Best Public Event Planning ISES awards. At this year’s Grove Fest, expect a diverse set of live music, live and interactive art, fashion shows, street performers, and of course, local food, drinks and wares of the Grove’s and St. Louis’s finest establishments.
