Parent with Child

The annual Kirkwood Greentree Festival will be held September 18 - 20 in Kirkwood Park. This free, family festival features a parade that steps off on Saturday at 10 a.m. beginning at Kirkwood High School, entertainment and food vendor booths, and kids activities.

Lace up and leash up for a great cause! You and your dog are invited to run, jog, or walk in the Purple Leash 5K & Fun Run at Purina Farms. Compete for top dog in our 5K race or take it easy in our 1-mile fun run. Put your paws to the pavement and then head over to the TAILgate after party for food, drinks, music and more all while raising awareness for the Purple Leash Project. All purple outfits and purple dog gear are highly encouraged!

Bring your little ghosts and goblins to the Lil' Trick or Treaters Halloween adventure. Costumes are encouraged, so come dressed up for a fun Halloween storytime, festive crafts, and special Halloween treats. This not-so-scary Halloween party is for ages 2-5.

All visitors receive free admission to The Butterfly House on Friday, September 18 in honor of the Evelyn E. Newman Founder's Day Celebration.

Trick or Track is a family Halloween celebration featuring a costume parade and trick or treating around the National Museum of Transportation in Kirkwood.

It's the Not-So-Haunted House that is oh-so-fun, where storybook characters come alive! Kids are invited to dress in their most "boo-tiful" Halloween costumes and have a ghoulishly good time going on a spook-tacular scavenger hunt throughout The Magic House to find trick-or-treat locations and seeing their favorite storybook characters.

Toddler Tunes combines music, movement, and interactive story time to encourage little ones to sing, dance, play instruments, and explore rhythm through hands-on activities and imaginative play.
