Live Art Market

October 8 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
|Recurring Event (See all)
City Foundry | Free

Every Wednesday from October 8 through October 29, pedestrian-only Foundry Way will transform into an open-air market from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Perennial will lead guests through make-and-take crafts using only secondhand materials, with a new craft that matches that night's theme. Illusionist Christian the Magician, presented by Museum of Illusions, will perform while live music echoes through the district from the EXPATio Rooftop. A fire pit lounge and photo op awaits guests, with sweet and savory s’mores kits available from Steve’s Meltdown in the Food Hall.

Each week will also feature special guests and themed programming, with the first two weeks dedicated to celebrating St. Louis. The last two weeks of October, City Foundry fully embraces the Halloween spirit with back-to-back parties catering to both families and adults.
