Old Webster Jazz and Blues Festival
**This event may be more social than Spanish, but I'll be happy to speak Spanish with anyone who wants to!
**This may also be a joint event with another Meetup group.

Noon to 11 pm
FREE

HOW TO FIND US: Call me on my cell. I'll send out the number the day before the event. Also, look for red balloons.
Event starts at noon - I plan to be there before 2pm and stay all day. Not sure I'll make it by noon, though!
I don't think they cancel the festival if it rains, but I may cancel the Meetup event and my own attendance if weather is bad.

Lots of great bands (3 stages), music, dancing, food, drinks, this is a really fun street festival! In addition to the festival vendors, there are several good restaurants and bars in the area.

From the website:
The Webster-Kirkwood Times presents the ninth annual festival just 10 miles southwest of St. Louis. This year the free, award-winning, family jazz and blues fest recreates the music of the Las Vegas jazz scene during the 1960s. Not unlike Vegas at that time, this year's festival offers great entertainment, food and spirits along the strips of Gore, Allen and Lockwood Avenues. Listen for a dazzling array of styles and tune-in to retro sophistication born in the Las Vegas heyday that is still alive today.
