One thing we hang our hat on in Sainte Geneviève One thing we hang our hat on in Sainte Geneviève is being a tight-knit community of people who really care. You’d be hard-pressed to find a better example of this in a business than American Custard out near River Rapids Waterpark. They put a ton of love into everything they do, from the squeaky clean restaurant, to their Ted Drewes-esque concretes, down to hand-making all the dips and dressings for their creations. Whether you’re looking for a burger, a shrimp po’boy, or just a good solid salad, you won’t find a bad option here!

The season usually culminates with a true crowd pleaser, and the crowd pleaser is none other than regional favorites, Grand Allusion; THE Styx tribute band. Just look at the photos. Pure energy!
Hawn State Park is the place to be late in the sum Hawn State Park is the place to be late in the summer when the heat sets in like it has this past week. It’s so nice to stay downtown and skid out to Pickle Creek where the running water acts as a natural air conditioner, cooling the shady patches so you’re not sweating where you stand. Not to mention, it’s a great place for a photo shoot.

Another unforgettable weekend at the 2025 Ste. Gen Another unforgettable weekend at the 2025 Ste. Genevieve County Fair! As always, it was a true slice of American pie. From the roar of the tractor pull and the bone-crunching action of the demolition derby to the flower-petal sweetness of the 4H livestock show, the beauty queen competitions, and the petting zoo, it is easy to see why this event is held right after the Fourth of July. It is the kind of weekend that makes you proud to be American. Thanks to everyone who came out to support the community, cheer on participants, and enjoy the food, games, and entertainment. We are already looking forward to next year!

Roscoe Misselhorn is a huge part of Ste. Genevièv Roscoe Misselhorn is a huge part of Ste. Geneviève lore. When you have such lovely architecture and sleepy little streets to set up and draw for hours, you tend to attract artists hungry for relaxing plein air opportunities. And Misselhorn was probably our best, as his quick (two-hour) drawings toed a line that balanced lifelike accuracy with a gestural quality that makes the works feel alive. What he left us with is iconic drawings of Ste. Geneviève that really elevate our lore as one of the most beautiful and artsy small towns in the Midwest. His works are on display in the Jean-Baptiste Vallé House, now run by @stegennps. Take a tour and see the works by this plein air master.
Visitors and locals gathered in the heart of Ste. Visitors and locals gathered in the heart of Ste. Genevieve on Saturday, July 5, to celebrate America’s 249th birthday with a meaningful ceremony at the Centre for French Colonial Life. General George Washington (Geoff Baggett), General Marquis de Lafayette (Bradley Johnson), and Missouri State Representative Bryant Wolfin joined the crowd for a reading of the Declaration of Independence, a National Anthem performance by Anna Ripplinger, and a musket salute by the Milicia de Santa Genoveva. The local VFW honor guard presented the colors, and guests enjoyed complimentary cake and cold water, thanks to Ron and Justine Rayfield, for a true community celebration. 🎉🇺🇸

Have a Happy 4th of July, everyone! The photos in Have a Happy 4th of July, everyone! The photos in this post will be a bit misleading, as our city’s Freedom Celebration happened this past weekend. It’s not a very publicized event, but nonetheless, people swarmed Pere Marquette Park in Ste. Genevieve to set up picnics and socialize for a couple of hours before the show, as the Muny Band played “The Stars and Stripes Forever.” Then there’s the fireworks show, where people got to spread out and lay directly under the show. Pretty special! If you’re looking for something special to do this weekend, check out the Independence Day Celebration hosted by French Colonial America and Ron and Justine Rayfield (@justineybeanie). Starting at noon, George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette will address the audience, the Declaration of Independence will be read by State Representative Bryant Wolfin, and President Washington will cut cake with a sword.
Just wait for the ducks 🦆 Homesteading is some Just wait for the ducks 🦆 Homesteading is something that happens right in downtown Ste. Gen. You can keep up to six hens in your backyard, and many people raise bees. Harold’s Famous Bee Co., known for the bee venom extract it sells, keeps its bees right in the heart of downtown. There’s also a wild hive that’s taken over the steeple of the Catholic church. Beekeepers retrieved four different swarms from the church steps this year.

Missouri is full of surprises. One of the many thi Missouri is full of surprises. One of the many things you may not know about it is that it’s responsible for one of the greatest art movements in America’s history. Led by Thomas Hart Benton (the Diego Rivera of the United States and a Kansas City native), this army of Regionalist painters was mobilized by the New Deal to paint murals in municipal buildings across America. During that time, Ste. Genevieve became a boot camp for forging Regionalist artists. The Ste. Genevieve Art Colony (1932 to 1940) was started by two women, Aimee Schweig and Jesse Beard-Rickley, was taught by Thomas Hart Benton and Joe Jones, and produced cohorts responsible for almost 100 municipal works of art spanning the Midwest. With Ste. Gen being a center for the creation of Regionalist work, it only makes sense that we should host the paintings of the most notable New Regionalist painter working today, Bryan Haynes (@artbybryanhaynes), with the opening of a new gallery in town, the Two Rivers Gallery (73 N. Main St.). Named after the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, this gallery will shine a spotlight on the unique work happening in this area of the country; work that speaks to the rich history of this area and how that history is shaping our future. The gallery will have its Grand Opening tomorrow (6 p.m. to 9 p.m.) in conjunction with the 4th Friday Art Walk. Not only will you be able to see this and the work of local artists around town, but you can visit work created by the Art Colony as well at Silver Sycamore Gallery (302 Market St.). Patrons of the gallery will be able to hang work on their walls that goes beyond aesthetics. It tells a story that is unfolding, even today. Many of Mr. Haynes’s paintings were made right here in Ste. Genevieve, as the rolling hills, farms, and forests of the Osage are a constant inspiration.
Hot fun in the summertime! It’s finally getting Hot fun in the summertime! It’s finally getting hot around here, but with all the rain we’ve been getting it’s green, green, green outdoors. Not to mention, we’ve got @riverrapidswaterpark just outside of our downtown, so staying cool is still an option.
Fourth of July weekend is going to be a real treat Fourth of July weekend is going to be a real treat. Not getting away? No big loss. We’ve got Mississippi blues-country artist Jason Eady coming up from Texas for two nights of performances. The first, on Independence Day, takes place at the opening night of Audubon’s cellar venue, the Midnight Slip. Local singer-songwriter Chris Welch will open the night from 6 p.m. - 7 p.m. followed by Mr. Eady himself from 7 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Both artists will treat you to solo acoustic sets as you sip, speakeasy style. Night two will include some fireworks as Jason Eady joins his full band to take the Orris stage. Just like the first night, Chris Welch will kick the night off at 7 p.m. The shows will go until 10 p.m. Tickets are available at: www.audubons.com
