Engage, Serve, & Celebrate
Who We Are
Celebrate Saint Louis is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that strives to engage, serve and celebrate our region by providing diverse, impactful and entertaining experiences to support worthy charities that serve our communities.
By producing inclusive year-round events that showcase Saint Louis culture and support a diverse group of nonprofit organizations, Celebrate Saint Louis illustrates our region’s stand-out charitable reputation alongside our history of celebration and connection dating back to St. Louis’s founding in 1764.
Our Core Celebrations
Our core events celebrate history, patriotism, and the vibrant spirit of St. Louis, bringing the community together in honor of our nation. These major happenings include the breathtaking July 4th Fireworks Display, illuminating the Gateway Arch since 1981; and the July 4th Concerts, showcasing incredible performances in Forest Park and Downtown St. Louis since 1981. A heartfelt Salute to the Troops honors our military heroes, adding a powerful tribute to the celebration.

A Better Saint Louis For All
In 2024, we are proud to introduce the Celebrate Saint Louis Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that serves as the central hub for a series of community events. These include the visually stunning Fireworks framed by the Gateway Arch, the vibrant America’s Birthday Parade, an engaging Concert Series, the Eads Bridge Anniversary Celebration, a Family Festival Zone, an Airshow program and Gateway Legends Esports Tournament since 2021.
Unlike organizations with narrower scopes, Celebrate Saint Louis delivers a wide-reaching impact on the Saint Louis community. Our events, especially the Downtown July 4th Festivals, act as a catalyst, igniting a year-long celebration across the city.
