ST. LOUIS DAY HOMECOMING FESTIVAL
As has happened for the last 142 years, the famed St. Louis Day Celebration will again open the gates to visitors from all over the state. Dubbed years ago, by the Texas Tourist Agency as “The Homecoming for the State of Texas,” the giant festival will again serve tons of barbecued beef, Alsatian style sausage, and food, drink, music, games and fun all day long for friends who make the trip each year to historic Castroville.

On Saturday evening the night before the actual celebration. So on August 24 at 6:30 p.m., the Super Saturday Biergarten Party will serve ice cold draught beer, wine, other refreshments and food, and live music for those who will make a weekend out of St. Louis Day.

Saturday night featured entertainers this year will kick off with great local favorite Weston Ripps and his band at 6:30 p.m. Jeremy Richards will follow at 8:30 and dazzle the crowd with spectacular guitar and vocal talent until 11 p.m.

Sunday, August 25, is the actual festival day when thousands of visitors will flock to “The Little Alsace of Texas.” The day will be jam-packed with entertainment at two different venues on the grounds including the Biergarten Stage and the ever-popular Riverside Stage. Featured talent this year include Fire on the Mountain Cloggers, the Alsatian Dancers of Texas, the Alamo City Community Marching Band, mariachis, local favorites Julie & Michele followed by Keith Lutz and the ever popular Bret Mullins Band. Playing for the first time at St. Louis Day, and in the home of their Alsatian heritage, The Statesboro Revue will round out the entertainment for the day.
