LIVE on the Levee

One of the obvious advantages of living in a major city, such as St. Louis, is that there is always something to do.  There are always different types of events, from sports events, to professional events, to cultural events.  There are always tons of great restaurants to eat at, no matter what your flavor may be (or what you’d like to try.  And there are always great artists coming to your city to perform.

Next weekend, after wrapping up Fair St. Louis 2010, the Riverfront will pick up the LIVE on the Levee concert series - a free summer festival featuring live music, U. S. Bank fireworks, AmerenUE/Schnucks K-Town Kids Zone and other activities.  The concerts run from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and each night culminates with a huge fireworks display.  Check out the upcoming performers to see if there is someone you’d like to check out…

• July 9: Common (opening act: DJ Needles)
• July 10: Slightly Stoopid (opening act: Fundamental Elements)
• July 17: Clint Black (opening act: The Johnny Henry Band)

John Legend, B-52’s and fireworks for the Fourth!

Fourth of July without fireworks is like ham without cheese, cereal without milk, ice cream with hot fudge – you get the idea.  It’s just un-American.  With that being said, I’m here to make sure that you know where to go this weekend to celebrate the 234th birthday of our great country!  Luckily, there is a really great, free concert going on in St. Louis this wekend at the Riverfront. 

• On Saturday, July 3, R&B crooner John Legend will be in town to perform on the Budweiser Main Stage for the Fair St. Louis Festival at the St. Louis Riverfront.  His show starts at 8:00 p.m.  Earlier in the day, there will be a two hour airshow for all to watch, as well as Kids Zone and other activities.
• On Sunday, July 4, legendary band the B-52’s take the stage at 8:00 p.m., as well as tween act Jordan Pruitt who will perform at 1:00 p.m.  Again, the day will be filled with air shows and activities for all.

And the best part (for me at least) is that each evening concludes with the star-spangled US Bank fireworks display at approximately 9:15 p.m.  Hope you can make it!
