We know the 2025 holiday season is nearing its end, but what are you doing for the New Year? Join us at Gateway Arch National Park for our 12th Afternoon Ball on Saturday, January 3rd, 2026.
Step back in time to the 1770s as we celebrate St. Louis' French Colonial past with a holiday that marks the end of the Christmas season. Enjoy traditional music by Dennis Stroughmatt et L'Esprit Creole, dancing, a food demonstration, crafts, and more! And if you want to immerse yourself more in St. Louis' French colonial past, be sure to visit the Colonial St. Louis exhibit in the museum while you're here!
This free event is scheduled for 12pm - 4pm central time on the Mezzanine in the Gateway Arch's Visitor Center. We hope to see you there!
