Rise Community Development is thrilled to invite you to the 3rd annual Rise Up Festival – a St. Louis-centric, multimedia street festival that will be a memorable and fun event for attendees and participants alike:
August 21st from 4:00 to 11:00PM in front of the Rise office at 1627 Washington Ave., situated directly in the heart of St. Louis’ historic garment district, the festival will featur
e local live music acts as well as artists’ booths juried and approved by professionally working artists, and university luminaries. Additionally, family-friendly street acts and areas, presentations by local businesses, and comestibles available from local restaurateurs and micro-breweries will all be part of the entertainment for the evening. Louisans, artisans, and businesses can present their talents and wares, as well as support Rise’s nonprofit mission: to revitalize, reinvigorate, and foster healthy communities in the St. Louis’ premier party band, The Dirty Muggs will headline the music venue and Jeremiah Johnson Band will be serving up the high velocity Blues. After the sun goes down, we have some special scintillating surprises you wont want to miss! Rise has been successful in the redevelopment of The Grove area, Fox Manor Apartments (behind St. Mary’s High School), Old North St. Louis (near Crown Candy), the Tower Grove neighborhood, and beyond, particularly in providing affordable, sustainable community spaces that enhance the overall vibrancy and quality of living in St. Louis. We really look forward to seeing you there!
