About St. Louis City Fair

The St. Louis City Fair celebrates Missouri's great river city — independent from St. Louis County since 1876, the city of St. Louis is defined by the Gateway Arch, Anheuser-Busch, the Cardinals, and a proud working-class heritage that has shaped American culture through music, brewing, and manufacturing, all celebrated alongside a fair tradition honoring the city's agricultural connections.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, diverse local food vendors reflecting St. Louis's multicultural community, and a fair drawing from one of the Midwest's most historically significant cities.

Visitor Tips

St. Louis's Gateway Arch National Park, Forest Park, the Saint Louis Zoo (free), Busch Stadium, the City Museum, and Soulard Farmers Market define a city of extraordinary cultural richness. The Mississippi River waterfront and the city's world-famous toasted ravioli and provel cheese reflect a uniquely St. Louis culinary culture.
