The fall vibes will be strong as Sauce Magazine’s Harvest Festival is back in the southwest corner of Tower Grove Park on Sunday, Oct. 12. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., bringing the autumnal ambiance to life. The annual celebration draws thousands to enjoy crisp fall air, seasonal treats and the work of dozens of local makers. Visitors can stroll beneath the park’s canopy of changing leaves, browse one-of-a-kind goods and soak up the community spirit that defines this St. Louis tradition.
This year’s soundtrack features the soulful grooves of Stone Sugar Shakedown to start the day, followed by the free-spirited jams of Alligator Wine, a Grateful Dead tribute band beloved by local music fans.
