Kicking off summer celebrations is Memorial Day which falls on Monday, May 29. Memorial Day is a great time to celebrate, while also remembering those who have served our country.

The St. Louis area has a plethora of music festivals, events and fun during Memorial Day weekend, as well as parades in honor of our veterans.

One of the most popular events hosted in the St. Louis is the Grant’s Farm Food Trucks.

While most people go to Grant’s farm to see the animals, shows and other exhibits, on the Friday before Memorial Day, the farm will stay open late to host a variety of food trucks serving local foods. The food ranges from entrees to snacks to desserts and will be served in the Tiergarten.

Grant’s Farm will also be hosting live music and a carousel to complete the celebration.

So, if you’re lacking something to do the weekend before Memorial Day, check out Grant’s Farm off of Gravois Road for food, music and festivities!

In a routine based off of the Hindu gods Krishna and Radha, sophomore Hritika Malugu and Brentwood High School freshman Meenakshi Kadungath strike a pose. Malugus favorite routine is also based off of Krishna. My favorite dance piece is probably Asainthadum which is a classical piece about how everyone is happy when Krishna is around. It’s really dynamic and has a lot of fun steps, Malugu said.

Recently opening the second shop in Missouri, owner and store manager April Baker established the Magnolia Soap & Bath Co. with her son because she was always surrounded by their products when she lived in Mississippi. She has been using the products for 5 years now and said she likes them because they don’t contain any toxic or harmful ingredients. “When we found that they were franchising, we thought this would be a business model that the community would appreciate because a lot of the people out here are health conscious and health minded,” Baker said
