π In the Lou: Things to do in St. Louis this Weekend, July 17β21, 2025
It's going down, In the Lou
Summerβs in full swing and St. Louis is bursting with ways to stay cool, get weird, and have a damn good time. Weβve got vintage nightfests, tie-dye parties, sausage celebrations, pickleball showdowns, and 80s trivia battles. Oh, and the Science Center is throwing a disco. For grown-ups. About sound. (More on that below.)
Clear your schedule. Hereβs whatβs going down:
π₯ Featured Picks
