Fourth of July Festivals Draw Crowds Across the Region Amidst Fair Saint Louis Changes

Fair Saint Louis did not feature live music, food, or vendors this year, prompting St. Louisians and tourists to seek out other festivals in the region to celebrate the Fourth of July. While some chose to watch fireworks under the Arch, others attended festivals like Riverfest in St. Charles, where they enjoyed food, vendors, carnival rides, and local bands despite the hot weather.
