The Missouri Mosaics Festival for the Arts is a free, family-friendly art festival held on historic Main Street in St. Charles. More than 100 juried artists from across the region will display and sell artwork, and the festival also includes live entertainment on the performance stage, and a Children's Village with hands-on art making opportunities for all ages.
Kids will be able to create their own unique momento of the festival. The Art for Youth Gallery allows children to purchase professional art at a nominal fee, fostering art appreciation among those 18 and younger.
The festival runs Friday from 4 to 9 p.m.; Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 to 5 p.m.
