Winterfest is a beloved St. Louis winter tradition that brings holiday magic to the heart of downtown. Gateway Arch Park Foundation, the nonprofit conservancy of Gateway Arch National Park and surrounding downtown areas, produces this event for St. Louisans and visitors alike. For 11 years, this event has brought people together in Kiener Plaza for ice skating, s’mores, cozy igloos, and a rotating lineup of free activities for all ages.

There’s plenty to see and do, but what makes Winterfest truly special are the warm memories made with friends and family as you enjoy the magic of the season together.
