Kids can set sail for the South Pacific in this free online mini camp offered by Imagine Arts Academy of St. Louis.

Familes will have a blast at Purina Farms Pet-A-Palooza, a celebration of pets and their families. In addition to being one of the biggest pet adoption days in the area (including dogs, cats, rabbits and more), Pet-A-Palooza will feature grooming areas for pets, a kids area with inflatables and games, a pet photo booth, food, live music and a showcase of some of the latest pet gear and accessories. You'll also enjoy the Incredible Dog Challenge, the Barn and Play Area, and Pro Plan Performance Team Dog Shows, which take place at the Incredible Dog Arena. Admission is free. Parking is $5.

Enjoy a cool summer concert on a hot summer night in Des Peres Park. Concerts are free and open to the public.

Bring your kids to a Farmer's Market that's down on the farm! While you shop, there will be games and activities to entertain your kids. A portion of all sales benefits the Missouri Baptist Children's Home. 

At this special event, experts will demonstrate ancient crafts such as bow and arrow making, flintknapping, pottery making, fingerweaving, and bone/shell/ gourd carving.
