No state celebrates Mardi Gras harder than Missouri, and the St. Louis Mardi Gras is second only to New Orleans. The party begins on Twelfth Night in January and continues daily (and nightly) until the festivities culminate on Fat Tuesday.
One of the most beautiful places in St. Louis, the Missouri Botanical Garden is also one of the oldest and is a National Historic Landmark. Take in the sights of the modern and traditional gardens and explore all 32 sections of the Missouri Botanical Garden.
Enjoy a dinner and a show at one of the swankiest places in St. Louis, Jazz at the Bistro. Serving up the highest caliber of food and drink alongside the highest caliber music and live entertainment, this is a go-to place for a relaxing or romantic evening.
