Grub and Groove

Grub and Groove Grub& Groove is a free annual festival in Francis Park showcasing the best STL food, music, and more!

Grub and Groove is a free annual concert event in Francis Park produced by the non-profit South City Investment Corp. The event showcases live music and food and drink from exceptional local restaurants. While Grub and Groove is primarily an opportunity to celebrate life in St. Louis City, proceeds from the event are returned to the community through grants. Past years have seen funds used for improved lighting in the park, metal banners, crosswalk upgrades, development studies, and donations to other non-profits benefiting the area.
