Sainte Geneviève – Modoc Ferry
Best small town for live music
We’re committed to making this the best small town for music in the nation. With some of the greatest venues this side of the Mississippi, how could we not? Whether you want to see a traveling act at one of the coolest downtown theaters anywhere, The Orris, get more intimate at the Midnight Slip listening room, bask in a classic barroom at The Dewdrop Inn, or enjoy sweeping views while you sip and soak in the tunes out at Charleville Brewery and Winery, there’s really not better place to take in music. Oh! We almost forgot to mention the exclusive Pickin’ Strings at Pickle Springs Music Festival out past Hawn State Park,
and the ever-popular Summer and Winter Music Series put on by the Ste. Genevieve Chamber of Commerce.
Not to mention, we’re happy to help you set up a special musical evening for your wedding or corporate retreat. It helps us in our mission to provide world-class facilities and customer service while delivering on that small-town promise of community and hospitality.
Want to see where Mardis Gras came from?
For many people, the gateway to Franco-American culture is through the great tradition of Mardi Gras. Why? Because it’s fun for everyone. The intellectually curious, though, will leave New Orleans thinking, “Where did this come from?”
The next year, they may make their way to Lafayette to see Mardi Gras there, and then to the smaller communities surrounding Lafayette for Courir de Mardi Gras. It’s in the 12th Night Mardi Gras Balls in New Orleans and the Courir de Mardi Gras of places like Mamou and lota (the song of which is lored to share lyrics with the Sainte Geneviève Guignollée) that Sainte Geneviève really finds it’s unique footing within the context of the larger Franco-American diaspora.
People looking deeper and deeper into this well should easily find their way to Sainte Geneviève for La Guignollée (our version of Courir) or the King’s Ball (our 12th Night Ball that takes place on the first weekend of February). What’s more is we’re seated right at the crossroads between Upper Louisiana and the French Heritage Corridor. That’s why our French Heritage Festival strives to be a meeting place between North and South, connecting new and old ideas regarding the identity of the Franco-American Experience.
Santé!
Ste. Geneviève, Missouri is one of the most unique wine destinations in the US.

Set in the rolling foothills of the Ozarks that spread toward the Mississippi River, our wineries feature epic views that pair well with any glass. Offering an abundance of tours, wine tastings, and open space, there’s always a reason to visit!
