If you’re looking for more activities to fill your itinerary, check out our events calendar. Moulin Rouge! The Musical April 30 to May 12 Pop the Champagne – Moulin Rouge! The Musical is coming to The Fabulous Fox. The winner of 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, draws you into a world of splendor and romance, a world of eye-popping excess, glitz, grandeur and glory. In this world, bohemians and aristocrats rub elbows and revel in electrifying enchantment. Welcome to Moulin Rouge! Based on Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film, Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a theatrical celebration of truth, beauty, freedom and – above all – love. By the end of the production, you’ll understand that Moulin Rouge! is more than a musical; it’s a state of mind. Cinco de Mayo Festival May 4 Over the years, the Cinco de Mayo Festival on Cherokee Street has evolved into one of the largest and most diverse festivals in the St. Louis region, bringing together more than 30,000 attendees to celebrate the rich, multicultural, spirited and eclectic community within the Cherokee Street neighborhood and surrounding area. Expect six blocks of festivities, including two stages and a lucha libre wrestling ring! St. Louis Battlehawks vs. Houston Roughnecks May 4 The Dome at America’s Center welcomes the St. Louis Battlehawks for another home game. Let’s break the attendance record for spring football again! Rosé Day May 4 Rosé Day, a walking wine festival celebrating our favorite pink drink, will traverse the Central West End this weekend. Tickets include a portable Rosé Day wine glass and a passport with more than 10 designated tasting stations, where you’ll get two-ounce samples of hand-selected wines. Along the route, local musicians and artists will provide entertainment, and you can shop at pop-up vendors and storefronts throughout the day. Cheers! Eads Bridge Trolley Tour May 4 Declared “impractical” and “impossible,” the Eads Bridge in St. Louis still stands after 150 years. The best part? It’s used daily! Head to Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum for a special two-hour trolley tour about chief engineer James Buchanan Eads, his bridge and other people who made it a reality.
