Start your weekend by supporting women’s empowerment in the workplace and crossing a few names off your nice list at the Rung for Women Maker’s Market on Friday evening. On Friday and Saturday, take in a performance by the Dianne McIntyre Group—the dance pioneer has been driving the conversation for more than half a century. A joyous World Anteater Day to those who celebrate, including the fine folks at the St. Louis Aquarium. Join the party on Saturday. They’re flipping the switch on the Brewery Lights at Anheuser-Busch this weekend. And on Sunday at The Sheldon, take in the All-Star Chorus’ fall show, Every Voice, Every Generation. Of course, that’s not to mention the Thanks-For-Giving Parade, Winterfest, Les Misérables at the Fox, The Musial Awards at Stifel Theatre, and more. Stay safe, and have a great weekend!

Thanksgiving markets, Friendsgiving, and more

Kick off the holiday season in St. Louis. The Thanks-For-Giving Parade fills the streets with marching bands, floats, and family fun. At Winterfest in Kiener Plaza, ice-skating, cozy igloos, and twinkling lights create the perfect backdrop for gathering with family friends. Thanksgiving markets pop up across the region, offering handmade goods, seasonal treats, and opportunities to shop local. And gather your crew to celebrate friendship (without the cooking stress) during the city’s Friendsgiving offerings.
