hope that you are doing well. As George Gershwin

I wrote, Summertime, and the livin' is easy. Easy might be a bit overstated as we are working hard to help our clients achieve their real estate goals this summer. However, it is easy to do what we love, in both work and play. Speaking of play, there are some amazing things going on in our beloved St. Louis this month, as always. Of course, I have a few suggestions for you to go out and make it a memorable month. I hope that you will join me!

Start off your month of July with a visit to The Muny where they are showing only the best of the best for their 100th year anniversary. All week long, they will be doing their rendition of Singin’ in the Rain, a classic comedy/romance that is well known for its flashy singing and dancing numbers.

The most explosive US holiday is finally here and our city has provided us with plenty of options to choose from for celebrating on the 4th. You could begin the day at America’s Birthday Parade which begins at the Kiener Plaza at 9:30 AM. There will be 17 different floats, a lot of huge inflated characters, and 12 school bands that will compete in the Liberty Drum Challenge.

You might not know, but my family has a goal to get to all of the national parks. With the addition of the Arch, there are now 60 National Parks! St. Louis will be having the Gateway Arch National Park Grand Opening for the new museum this week!

O’Fallon, Missouri will be hosting the Heritage and Freedom Fest from the 3rd to the 4th which will feature a parade of their own but it has the same starting time as STL’s America’s Birthday Parade so you’ll have to choose between the two. After the parade you could wander the festival grounds to either partake in the carnival rides or maybe listen to the live music provided by several bands includingDaughtry.

Fair Saint Louis Independence Day Celebration is a 3 day party on the 4th, 6th, and 7th. The fair begins at noon at Gateway Arch National Park following the America’s Birthday Parade I had mentioned before. You can expect big name performances each day from the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra on the 4th to Jason Derulo and Andy Grammer on the 6th and Martina McBride will close it out on

the 7th! Don’t miss the fireworks at the close of each
