ST. LOUIS – Following the success of City Social, Downtown’s premier block party in May, more free outdoor events are scheduled for Downtown St. Louis. Starting Thursday, June 6, Greater St. Louis, Inc. will present Downtown Summer Nights, a weekly event in Kiener Plaza from 5-8 p.m., running through August.
"Downtown Summer Nights is the perfect way to celebrate summer in St. Louis, and Kiener Plaza is the perfect place,” said Kurt Weigle, Chief Downtown Officer for Greater St. Louis, Inc. “What is better than having a drink with friends or colleagues under the shadow of the iconic Gateway Arch?”
Entertainment will vary each week and feature music, food, and activities with some of St. Louis’s best DJs including DJ Nico Marie, DJ Stazi, DJ Cuddy, and others. The lineup includes movie nights, dance performances, and a special Black-owned market for Juneteenth. Food and drinks will be available for purchase on-site from local food trucks and pop-up bars.
Downtown Summer Nights — sponsored by Greater St. Louis, Inc. — is part of ongoing efforts to increase vibrancy, support local businesses, and encourage foot traffic in Downtown St. Louis as part of a new public-private partnership with the City of St. Louis aimed at making Downtown safe and vibrant.
Other weekly summer activations include live music throughout Downtown (local musician busking program) and Lunchtime Live (now through October). Lunchtime Live — celebrating its 10th year in Downtown St. Louis — brings food trucks and live music to Old Post Office Plaza every Wednesday from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., with schedules updated weekly on downtownstl.org.
