Like most communities, The City of St. Louis has been holding a celebration of Independence Day for many years and historically St. Louis has celebrated with fireworks on the 1st Saturday of July. In 2007 permission was granted to hold a one day Blues Festival in the street. The success of the first year spawned enough interest for a 2nd, 3rd 4th and this year the 5th festival.
In 2008 Center Stage Productions set the tone for a 2 day event and following that tradition will present this years festival on Friday, July 1st & Saturday, July 2nd, which is the first Saturday of July, being fireworks night, making for a great weekend of festivities.... SO, we present to you:
"The 2011 St. Louis Blues Festival" July 1~2 located on Mill Street, in front of The Gem Theater, downtown St. Louis, Michigan. Fireworks 10:00 p.m. July 2
There will be many other community activities going on downtown and all around the City on Saturday, look for "Community Activity Page", coming soon. Click on the city
