Not attending the Red, White & Blue in the Loo?
A Firework Show Only Option — Info Coming Soon!
Closer to event time, we’ll be announcing a fireworks-only entry option, perfect for those who want to come just for the display. Instead of a ticket, we’ll ask for non-perishable food donations to benefit the JB Patriot Pantry at Jefferson Barracks, which supports our local active military and veterans. This entry will begin at a designated time to be announced in June and will not have entry to the festival part of the fairgrounds.
Get ready — The Loo is lighting up like never before.
