Grub and Groove

Grub& Groove is a free annual festival in Francis Park showcasing the best STL food, music, and more!

Grub and Groove is a free annual concert event in Francis Park produced by the non-profit South City Investment Corp. The event showcases live music and food and drink from exceptional local restaurants. While Grub and Groove is primarily an opportunity to celebrate life in St. Louis City, proceeds from the event are returned to the community through grants. Past years have seen funds used for imp

roved lighting in the park, metal banners, crosswalk upgrades, development studies, and donations to other non-profits benefiting the area.

🌼 Wildflowers for Willmore! 🌼

A huge thanks to Friends of Willmore Park for organizing such a wonderful morning of wildflower planting — and to everyone who came out to help make it happen! 🌸🐝

Volunteers helped plant nearly 200 wildflowers around the wetland area, creating a vibrant space for butterflies, bees, and other pollinators to thrive.

We’re proud that Grub & Groove was able to help fund these efforts — contributing $6,600 this year toward projects that make our neighborhood parks bloom brighter. 💚🌿

Here’s to growing together, one wildflower at a time! 🌼🌳
