Missouri History Museum Twilight Tuesdays--Oct 6
Grab your blankets and lawn chairs, pack your picnic basket and come hear some terrific music under a beautiful Forest Park sunset as the Missouri History Museum Twilight Tuesdays light up again! Food and drinks will be available for purchase. Make-and-take activities for children will be offered on the Museum's front lawn beginning at 6:00 p.m. Activities will be closed after intermission.
This week's concert will feature Boogie Chyld with a tribute to Michael Jackson and will run from 6:30 to 8:30pm. Be sure to get to the Dula Plaza (the north lawn) of the History Museum early to grab some space. Tip: If you don't care about seeing the band, you can hear the music from quite a ways away in Forest Park, so you can find a nice spot away from all of the people and enjoy the concert without getting stepped on!
For more information, call 314-454-3199 or 800-916-8212.
