Midtown Street Fest

Renaissance Development Associates, LLC, is pioneering the physical restoration of one of St. Louis’s oldest neighborhoods: the old automotive district on Locust.  The area is getting a new name, Midtown Alley, to match their new initiative in restoring the area.  Art Underground (STL) is honored and excited to assist in launching the cultural restoration of the neighborhood by connecting local artists with event planners and festival attendees to showcase what this beautiful city has to offer. Especially don’t miss the live performances of AU friends, Immediacy Theatre Project and Fundamental Elements!

Midtown Street Fest will introduce the greater St. Louis community to the vibrant lifestyle and architectural and business “rebirth” that’s being cultivated and celebrated in our portion of the city: The New Midtown Alley. This event will showcase the thriving businesses and creative residents who, through the support of local leaders and eager patrons, are leveraging a shared excitement and appreciation for the historic neighborhood to grow Midtown Alley into a beloved destination.

Tim Lorson, known for his incredible work in producing St. Louis’ exciting Mardi Gras events, and Sam Foxman, award winning producer behind numerous events including St Louis’ Fashion Week, have both donated their talents to ensure our first ever Midtown Alley Street Fest event is all it can be – and more!

The Midtown Alley is not an “average” neighborhood … and this will not be an “average” street fair. The event is being styled as part street-party / part music fest/ part art extravaganza, with an urban/industrial theme; a direct nod to the history and location of Midtown Alley. A successful local non-profit, Food Outreach, calls Midtown Alley home, and to recognize their outstanding work in our community, Food Outreach will receive a portion of the proceeds from food and beverage sales at the event. Three different bands will be taking the main stage during the fair, while six of our popular Midtown Alley restaurants will provide delicious treats and signature samples. Beer products are being provided by Schlafly.
