Once Upon a Valentine: Stories for the Loved & Loveless, returns this weekend! February 7 & 8, from 12-3PM, on Main Street, St. Charles, MO.

This annual Valentine’s micro-festival is brought to you by the producers of Saint Charles Christmas Traditions and Legends & Lanterns.

Join us for an array of activities embracing both the adoration and the playful disdain for Valentine's Day traditions. ❤️💔

💌 Collect charming postcard-sized valentines from throughout Main Street as you meet storied characters such as Cupid, The Queen of Hearts, Romeo and Juliet, the Six Wives of Henry the VIII, and more.

Sunday concludes with a large-scale vow renewal ceremony at 3:00 PM in Kister Park, inviting lovebirds to join dozens of other couples at the iconic Main Street gazebo for a symbolic reaffirmation of love.

And just like that…Santa & your favorite legendary holiday characters have safely returned to their enchanted realms, bringing a close to the 51st season of Saint Charles Christmas Traditions®.

Whether you danced with the Sugarplum Fairy, got “humbugged” by Ebenezer Scrooge, lifted your voice in song with our carolers, or endured an avalanche of winter puns from Jack Frost & Susie Snowflake, we thank you for joining us for a magical holiday adventure that can only be experienced right here on Main Street.

May you keep the spirit of Christmas alive in your heart all year round.

Until we meet again…

There once was a mischief-mad sage,
Who ruled Main Street stage after stage.
With a quip and a glare,
He roasted all there...
Twenty-six seasons the king of our age.

Cheers to you, James! Master of Revels, Lord of Misrule, and forever our Village Idiot
