Unique holiday events are everywhere. An incredibly creative hip-hop remix of Dickens’ classic holiday tale, A Christmas Carol. A joyous, sprawling bazaar with more than 100 artists filling Cherokee Street storefronts, bars and venues, selling unique posters, prints, cards and calendars for everyone on your list. A festive performance (with adult language and content) centered around a 1959 Christmas with pot in the cookies. And the beloved St. Louis Symphony Orchestra performing the movie Home Alone in concert. This is St. Louis during the holidays, and there are a multitude of ways to be merry and bright. Be sure to keep an eye on our weekend events listing and Instagram post (which we update every Friday morning) to get the latest on everything from theatre to dance and music to museums.
