Festival of the Little Hills
Festival of the Little Hills | August 16–18
While Frontier Park is no longer covered in floodwater, that flood damage means the annual craft festival will be held along Riverside and Main Street. But the number of vendors preparing tasty treats, live entertainment, and arts and crafts to peruse remains abundant. Free. Main Street, St. Charles, Missouri.
