Personally August is my favorite month. First off, it’s my birthday month and I love to celebrate! But it’s also the month kids head back to school and those final weeks of summer are so special. My advice? Slow down, say yes to the ice cream, let the kids stay up late and go to the free concert, soak in the August days. And you know St. Louis won’t let you be bored! From festivals to free music to family-friendly fun, there’s tons to do! Here’s a look ahead at things to add to your calendar this month.
