WARM UP THE NIGHT
Wear a warm coat, hat and gloves. While most of the First Night events are indoors, we want you to experience as many of them as you can so that means walking from venue to venue as well as enjoying all of the visual sights and surprises we have prepared for you! And, you won’t want to miss the opening and closing ceremonies and the spectacular fireworks...so dress warm.
FOOD AND DRINK
It’s a winter food festival! “Warm up” with a cup of hot chocolate or fresh, brewed coffee as you stroll and find “comfort” with many of your favorite snacks, treats and sweets located on Grand, just north of Washington.
Watch for the “Wonderland Bike” dispensing hot chocolate; and visit our Mad Hatter Coffeehouse (the former Shakespeare’s Pub on Grand & Washington).
Food and drink are not permitted inside the theaters, concert halls and churches.
First Night is a non-alcoholic event.
SAFETY FIRST
With the assistance of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, Grand Center will be staffed with police officers and security stationed throughout the festival footprint. In the interest of safety, please do not bring coolers or glass containers with you. Purses, backpacks and large bags will be subject to a visual search
