Perform at the St. Louis Heritage Festival! Visit the Gateway to the West and perform in this modern yet historic city. Experience your festival in the home of the blues and visit Six Flags®, the St. Louis Zoo, and Busch Stadium. Tread in settlers’ historic footsteps with an old-fashioned riverboat ride. Honor the tradition of westward expansion while you view the city from the Gateway Arch.
Every Heritage Festival package includes:
Affirm. Inspire. Mentor. Directors have been asking for it, and here it is! The AIM Experience is an exclusive private master-class session offered as an elective to participating groups at all Heritage Festivals. This 60-90 minute concentrated educational experience provides extra performance time and customized one-on-one instruction from one of our professional clinicians. Music directors can set the focus of the session’s content through their planning call with the instructor. Reaffirm your classroom teachings, fine tune your festival performance, or focus on a few specific skills – the choice is yours! Ask your Festival Selection Advisor about setting up your own AIM Experience!
- Gateway Arch Tram Ride (optional): The nation’s tallest monument at 630 feet, the Gateway Arch commemorates Thomas Jefferson and St. Louis’s role in the westward expansion of the United States. Enjoy a tram ride to the top!
