The Essential St. Louis Historically, September brings the year's best weather to St. Louis—warm temperatures, little rain—which helps explain why there are so many festivals slated for this month. The list is a bit staggering: Japanese Festival, Great Forest Park Balloon Race, Loufest Music Festival, Big Muddy Blues Fest, Greater St. Louis Hispanic Festival, Saint Louis Art Fair, Midwest Wingfest, Hop in the City, Q in The Lou and more Oktoberfests than you can shake a stein at (Oktoberfest traditionally begins in September). For a change of pace, check out the St. Louis Walk of Fame. 90 MINUTES IN:
Give the gift of craft.
Embedded in the sidewalks of The Loop (6100-6600 Delmar Blvd.) are the brass stars and bronze plaques of the St. Louis Walk of Fame, honoring the men and women either born in St. Louis or who spent their formative or creative years here whose achievements had a national impact on our cultural heritage. Founded in 1989 by Blueberry Hill owner Joe Edwards (who also owns the Pageant, Delmar Hall and other properties), the St. Louis Walk of Fame celebrates some 147 honorees from all walks of life—entertainment, sports, science, politics, broadcasting, journalism, art, architecture, education, literature—who are chosen from a list of nominees by a selection committee consisting of citizens and leaders with an informed understanding of St. Louis’ cultural heritage. The honorees include Chuck Berry (whose star sits right outside Blueberry Hill, where he
used to do a once-a-month concert), Olympic champion Jackie Joyner-Kersee, poet T.S. Eliot, comedian Phyllis Diller, poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou, baseball great Stan Musial, jazz legend Miles Davis, music icon Tina Turner, sports broadcaster and recent Cooperstown inductee Bob Costas, ragtime king Scott Joplin (whose residence further east on Delmar is now a State Historic Site), acting legend Vincent Price, aviator

Oktoberfest began with the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on 12 October 1810.

The decision to repeat the horse races in subsequent years gave rise to the tradition of Oktoberfest, which traditionally begins in September.

St. Louis Your Way
Chocoholic
History Buff
Cyclist
Who doesn’t love chocolate? Happily, St. Louis offers a myriad of ways to satisfy that craving. (1) Kakao Chocolate, for example, creates small-batch, handmade confections using no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives or sweeteners. Two locations: Maplewood and Clayton. You can tour the factory at
History gets personal as we learn about the personalities that inhabited and passed through St. Louis’ collection of historic structures. The (1) Campbell House Museum preserves the Gilded Age residence of furtrader Robert Campbell, whose 3-story downtown mansion offers a peek into the lives of privileged early St. Louisans. Slaves were once sold on the steps of the (2) Old Courthouse, and two slaves, Dred and Harriet Scott, sued for their freedom there in a case that resulted in the Supreme Court’s Dred Scott Decision. The (3) Chatillon DeMenil Mansion embodies the stories of members of the founding families of St. Louis and Carondelet, a nationally known Western trailblazer, the family of an Oglala leader, and a literary scholar who was a director of the 1904 World’s Fair.
In recognition of cycling’s twin benefits— good exercise, good for the environment— the St. Louis region has created an extensive web of trails and welcomed a bike-sharing company to populate the city with grab-andgo bikes. The (1) Riverfront Trail starts just north of the Gateway Arch and winds its way north alongside the Mississippi River. If you didn’t bring your own bike, you can probably find a (2) LimeBike parked on or near the Arch grounds (they’re all over the city). Download the app, locate a bike, scan the QR code or enter number to unlock, and take off for just $1. The Riverfront Trail will eventually take you to the (3) Old Chain of Rocks Bridge, a dedicated biking/hiking bridge that takes riders across the Mississippi and drops them off in Illinois, where more bike trails await.
(2) Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate Company
and watch them make artisan chocolates with fair-trade cocoa and sugar. Then you can purchase anything from their long line of products at the factory store. The Bissinger family has been crafting confections for 350 years, and the result of that experience can be savored at the Bissinger’s Chocolate Shoppe (where you can take a tour), (3) Handcrafted by Bissinger’s in the Central West End, and the Bissinger’s store at Plaza Frontenac. 48 W H E R E S T.
