ARTISTS & VENDORS WANTED!
Old North St. Louis Restoration Group will host our annual House Tour & Arts Festival on Saturday, October 3rd to demonstrate the art of community in Old North. More than a dozen sites, including a mix of homes, community gardens, artworks, and neighborhood businesses will be open for visitors from throughout St. Louis. Visitors usually include many former residents who grew up in the neighborhood and come back every year to see how the neighborhood has changed, as well as prospective residents who want to get a sense of the community, and many others interested in neighborhood revitalization or historic preservation or sustainable communities.
This neighborhood-wide house tour and arts festival will show off the warmth of the Old North community, the richness and character of the architecture, the beauty of the community gardens and green spaces, public art, and the dynamic revitalization in progress. This year the big day is scheduled for October 3, 2026 from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM and will include homes, gardens, and murals. In addition, an Arts Festival will be held in Crown Square with local artists, vendors, and live entertainment.
We anticipate between 300-400 attendees, potentially higher.
Apply now and be part of this exciting celebration of local art and Old North St. Louis!
