In 2006, Young Dip and Tatum Polk founded 314 Day to bring St. Louis together — and to create a celebration that gets bigger every year. In 2019, Greater St. Louis, Inc.’s STLMade movement selected 314 Day to announce its mission to elevate the stories of the people, ideas, and organizations moving St. Louis forward.

This year, 314 Day is shaping up to be the largest ever, thanks to unprecedented regional collaboration. Festivities will kick off this Friday, March 10, and culminate Tuesday, March 14, with a weekend-long lineup of events across the metro highlighting local foods, makers, musicians, artists, businesses, attractions, and neighborhoods that are all proudly #STLMade.

We encourage you and your organization to find a way — big or small — to join the festivities and contribute to the spirit of unity that’s shaping a new future for St. Louis.

  • Celebrate with your local coworkers, customers, or employees — wear St. Louis gear and consider hosting a 314 Day meal or snack catered by your favorite STLMade restaurant. Many businesses are running special 314 Day promotions.
  • Sponsor or participate in a 314 Day anchor event, like the 314 Day Neighborhood Crawl and 314 Day Small Business and Health Expo.
  • Use your social media platforms and professional networks to let the world know why St. Louis is a great place to start up, stand out, and stay. Download these 314 Day digital assets for your communications and use the hashtags #STLMade, #314Day, and #LoveLocalSTL to share your support.
  • And don’t forget to show your love for #STLMade businesses across the region by shopping and dining local.
