Historically, the Festival of Lights helps to kick off the Christmas season in St. Louis with a talent and music festival culminating with the Mayor turning on the holiday lights and a firework display all benefiting the Salvation Army.
“The Ameren Missouri Festival of Lights, MC’d by Marissa Hollowed and Cory Stark from KMOV officially ushers in the Holiday Season with a host of entertainment, the lighting of the Salvation Army Tree of Lights, a festive fireworks finale and the Winterfest skating rink in partnership with the Gateway Arch Park Foundation.”
