Enjoy a summer vacation with us. (We’ll arrive 8/8 and leave 8/10)
We’re headed down to Ste. Genevieve’s for their annual Jour de Fete celebration. It is one of “the premier arts and crafts fair in the Midwest”. Held in the heart of Ste. Geneviève’s Historic District, this event is southeast Missouri’s largest outdoor crafts fair with 200+ booths, plus hands-on exhibits, food, music and special attractions.
As the first European settlement in Missouri, this French Colonial setting provides a perfect setting for this annual event.
