“A vibrant Downtown is the heartbeat of any great city. Events like City Social bring people together, showcase local businesses, and demonstrate the extraordinary energy that Downtown St. Louis has to offer the entire region,” said Kurt Weigle, Chief Downtown Officer of Greater St. Louis, Inc. “These moments of connection fuel economic growth and civic pride. We look forward to hosting another successful City Social street festival Downtown.”
City Social — sponsored by Greater St. Louis, Inc. — is one of many efforts to increase vibrancy, boost local businesses, and encourage foot traffic in Downtown St. Louis.
