August means back-to-school for most area students, so the Back to School Sales Tax Holiday is important for St. Louis families to note.  In the state of Missouri, the three-day holiday begins at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, August 2 and runs through Sunday, August 4.

Festival of Nations is St. Louis' biggest multicultural celebration, drawing thousands each year to Tower Grove Park to enjoy music, great food, dance, craft making and more.

Sports Fest is a fun, free way to introduce your child to the YMCA Youth Sports programs. Your child will engage in skill development and games, learn about sportsmanship, and, most importantly, have FUN! 

Treat your kids to a free concert that will introduce them to different musical styles in beautiful Tower Grove Park.

It's the food truck event that started them all! Local food trucks gather for an evening of friends, fun, live music and plenty of great food. St. Louis' favorite mobile restaurants will be dishing out fresh fare and local brews in Tower Grove Park.

The Whitaker Music Festival at Missouri Botanical Garden is an open-air music festival of free Wednesday night concerts under the stars. Bring the kids, because there is free admission to the Children's Garden from 5-7 pm.

Visit the Doris I. Schnuck Children's Garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden for two festive fun-filled days of hands-on activities celebrating the changing of the seasons. There will also be activities throughout the Garden to celebrate this special weekend.
