Celebrate Spring, March 19 - 25

St. Louis is a great place to live.  There are an unlimited number of things to do, many of them are free.  We have a large array of accessible museums, top notch restaurants and independent boutiques yet St. Louisians seem to be the lasts to sing the praises of our own city.  The purpose of this blog is to encourage people to get out and enjoy all there is in and around St. Louis.


Here are some great things to do this week:


This is the last week of the Orchid Show at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.  The show is free for members, $5 for non-members.  There are 800 orchids on display.


Tuesday, March 20th from 12-1, head to Laumeier Sculpture Park for the 'Step into Spring' docent led tour of the park.  The tour is free but registration is requested, call 314-615-5267


Wednesday, March 21st from 7-9pm, Schlafly Bottleworks will be hosting a free discussion on the 'Theology of Bottleworks'.


Thursday at 6:30 is the Iron Fork, hosted by the Riverfront Times and benefiting St. Louis Area Food Bank at the St. Louis Union Station Marriott.  Guests can sample food from 30 area restaurants and watch food and mixologist competitions.  For more information on the event and ticket prices, visit their website. http://microapp.riverfronttimes.com/ironfork/2012/index.php



Friday, head to one of the many area Lenten Fish Frys.  If you want something a little different than the traditional fish fry, try St. Cecilia's Mexican Themed Fish Fry.  From 4:30- 8pm you can enjoy tamales, nachos, beer and even a mariachi band! 


Saturday and Sunday at 9am, the St. Louis Zoo will be hosting a Breakfast with the Bunny.  Go to the zoo, enjoy a full breakfast and take pictures with the bunny.  Seating is limited, pre-paid reservations are required.  Zoo Friends members: $20/adult, $18/child (ages 2-12); Non-members: $22/adult, $20/child (ages 2-12); Children under 2 are free. For reservations, call (314) 646-4897.

  3. Love, Katie!!! Super helpful to have this in one place, so I don't have to worry about wading through events on the web. Can you maybe also include some musical events in your next one?? :)

    1. Anna, you requested, I listened (actually I read your mind as I was writing about the Soulard Blues Band and as you were submitting your post, I guess I'm just that good). Check out this weeks blog, "No Foolin'" as I included a musical event.
