St. Louis Family Events

Play Dates follow a monthly theme that invites close looking, hands-on art making, and safe, creative play. Plus, you'll enjoy performances from guest artists that get everybody moving!

At the Historic St. Charles Pumpkin Glow you and your family can bask in the glow of carved pumpkins throughout the historic district while the merchants along Main Street stay open late to offer scary good deals, and the street will be illuminated with hundreds of eerily glowing pumpkins. Costumes are encouraged, but this is not a trick or treating event.

SunCrest Fest brings together the best of Sunset Hills and Crestwood into a fall festival for all ages. The Fest features a parade, live music, trunk-or-treat, a Toddler Fun Zone, a climbing wall, a car show, food trucks and more. 

Science Saturdays combine stories and science make-and-take activities for science-inspired fun! Science Saturdays are geared toward with children who are candidates for Pre Kindergarten, Junior Kindergarten and Senior Kindergarten.
