Holidays in St. Louis

Let your kids have creative fun at Yucandu Art Studio over winter break! There will be multiple projects for each child to make using a variety of materials.

Winterfest will host some of your children's favorite princesses and superheroes this year, and you're invited to meet and take photos with them! 

Enjoy the iconic lights that adorn the Anheuser-Busch Brewery close up during walking tours. Brewery Lights features more than one million twinkling lights and lots of family friendly activities. New this year is an enhanced parade with Clydesdales and street performers, giant branded nutcrackers and interactive stage performances.

Drop off your kids for these gift workshops and they'll become creative little elves! Each child participating in Gift Workshops will make and wrap three fantastic gifts you are sure to love. No peeking!

Take memorable photos with Santa at The Missouri Botanical Garden's Garden Glow light display. During these special evenings, you and your family can take photos with Santa at Christmas-card worthy photo spots amid the sparkling wonderland of Garden Glow.

You can always watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on television, but if you want the real-life parade experience, bundle up the kids and head downtown bright and early on Thanksgiving morning to see the 40th annual Ameren Thanks for Giving Parade.

Grab your skates and head to opening day at the Winterfest Ice Rink in the heart of Kiener Plaza where there will be free admission and free skate rental. You can also catch the Ameren Missouri Festival of Lights from 4 to 8 p.m.
