Community
Perhaps more than anything else, Gateway Arch Park Foundation is most known to St. Louisans as the host of two of the biggest, non-sports-related annual events in Downtown St. Louis: Blues at the Arch and Winterfest. These two signature events bring tens of thousands of people to Gateway Arch National Park and Kiener Plaza each year. They also support dozens of local businesses, artists and entrepreneurs, and boost economic activity in Downtown St. Louis.
Gateway Arch Park Foundation is also proud to host Sunrise Yoga, our weekly yoga series held in the heart of St. Louis - Kiener Plaza - during the summertime. This series is free and open to the public thanks to supporters like you.
