“Fair Saint Louis has consistently been named one of the nation’s top Independence Day celebrations, and we invite those of all ages to join us at the Arch for an unforgettable birthday party,” said David Estes, general chairman of Fair Saint Louis 2019.

Fair Saint Louis is free for everyone.

The Boeing Air Show, Salute to the Troops, Purina Festival Zone and Interactive Zone all return this year for each day of the celebration.
