8.28.25 | 5:00pm – 8:00pm | Midway West @ Union Station
A legendary party like no other in celebration of St. Louis’ culture and creativity – past, present and future.
Whether you’re a longtime grantee, a local creative looking to connect, or someone who never likes to miss a memorable moment, all are welcome to come as you are to the 40th Birthday Bash, presented by the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis.
Where a festival atmosphere meets a family reunion, this party is the place to experience joy in STL’s talented performers, embrace your creative spirit, and find unity in community.
The arts have always been a bridge to people, progress, and quality of life, and together we’re rejoicing in this moment as we build towards a bright future for the St. Louis region.
Expect energetic performances, creative activities, free delicious bites + mocktails, a cash bar, and a few special surprises. Tickets are only $19.85 as a nod to the year RAC began.
This milestone belongs to you as much as it does to us. This is OUR story of creating – together. You won’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime gathering. It’s time to celebrate!
