“The 1904 World’s Fair” Opening Weekend Celebration

• LOCATION: Throughout the Missouri History Museum

• DATE: Saturday, April 27, 2024

• TIME: 10:00am–5:00pm

Be the first to see the new 1904 World’s Fair exhibit and be reintroduced to the Fair and its legacy in a way you’ve never experienced before. The 1904 World’s Fair was a complex, fascinating event that continues to evoke a range of emotions. It was grand and shameful. It was full of fun and full of indignity. With multicultural exhibitions and architectural marvels that swept across nearly 1,200 acres of Forest Park, the 1904 World’s Fair was truly larger than life. Join us for an opening weekend full of splendor that includes car displays, marching bands, multicultural dance performances, a Confluence Chamber Orchestra concert featuring music performed at the Fair, photo opportunities, walking tours through Forest Park, vendors serving up everything from multicultural food to fairy floss and ice cream cones, and a family zone with art activities and storytelling.
