Muny Band Concerts – A Romantic Small-Town Tradition There’s something undeniably romantic about a municipal band concert on a warm summer evening—and we don’t just mean romantic in the dating sense, though that applies too. We mean romantic in the larger, more encompassing way: the kind of experience that makes you feel connected to something timeless, that slows down the frantic pace of modern life, and that reminds you why small-town America still holds such appeal for those lucky enough to experience it.

The King’s Ball (or Queen’s Ball during leap year) is an annual French-inspired celebration of music and dancing that was held in Ste. Genevieve over 200 years ago, and it continues today! Revelers are encouraged to dress in period attire to add to the ambience, and the musical ensemble will provide instructions for the period dances. What is hidden in the King’s cake will determine the “King” or “Queen” for the year. Guests are welcome to bring snacks, plus there will be a cash bar. The Queen’s Ball will be held at the VFW Hall on February 3, 2024 from 6:00p until 11:00p. Proceeds will go to the Foundation for Restoration of Ste Genevieve. Read more…
