How’s your summer calendar looking? Haven’t thought about it at all? Perhaps you’ve cleared a few days here and there for much-anticipated activities and events? Or, maybe the calendar is already jam-packed. Wherever you are in your summer planning, clear a day or two to visit this massive arts, crafts, and antiques festival in Missouri that will also feature plenty of delicious food.
Carve out some time the weekend of August 16-18, 2019 for a visit to the Festival of the Little Hills in St. Charles, the Midwest's largest arts, crafts, and antiques festival.
A popular summer event since 1971, the Festival of the Little Hills offers something for the whole family as it celebrates the vibrant history of St. Charles.
In fact, the festival has grown to include more than 300 antiques and arts and crafts vendors. Activities include craft demonstrations, too, to inspire your own creativity.
Of course, you'll likely work up an appetite as you explore the massive festival. Sit down for a delicious meal or a quick snack before continuing your exploration.
And, if you can't find a parking spot in St. Charles, pick up a shuttle at one of several locations, including St. Charles West High School. Shuttles will run Friday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Clear your calendar for the Festival of the Little Hills, held August 16, 2019 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., August 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., and August 18 from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
