“Downtown St. Louis is the central hub of music, culinary delights, and enjoyment for St. Louis. We’ve crafted an unparalleled experience for the community to come together as we launch into the summer season,” said Niddy Gritty, Executive Producer of HushSTL. “City Social is a vibrant community block party where each step and around every corner we unveil something exciting,”

Drinks will be available for purchase on site and food is available at surrounding restaurants an pop ups along Washington Avenue throughout the party.

"City Social is the perfect way to kick off summer in Downtown St. Louis. Washington Avenue is one of St. Louis's most historic and iconic streets, and City Social brings it to life with St. Louis music, food, and fun,” said Kurt Weigle, Chief Downtown Officer for Greater St. Louis, Inc. “We invite everyone to experience — and become a part of — the momentum building Downtown."

City Social — sponsored by Greater St. Louis, Inc. and the City of St. Louis, in conjunction with the Office of the Treasurer — is one of many efforts underway to increase vibrancy, boost local businesses, and encourage foot traffic in Downtown St. Louis.
