Free 4 All, St. Louis’ largest all-local concert, will return to the Grand Center Arts District on Saturday, November 7 for an all-day music marathon across multiple stages. From rock and hip-hop to folk and even noise, artists across many, many genres will team up for a free, all ages event that truly showcases the depth and breadth of the region’s musical forces.
Want to be part of this groundbreaking event? Applications are open NOW! Any artist (of any genre) can apply to perform, and any person can nominate, or recommend, their favorite local musician to play. In this way, Free 4 All is a unique event shaped by the loc music community. Link in bio!
While the original Free 4 All was presented across two days, this 2026 edition will feature three distinct shows: The kick-off party goes down on Friday night, November 6 at The Key STL with a short and sweet concert that should set the pace for the main event on day two. On Saturday, November 7, local music fans can explore more than ten stages throughout the Grand Center Arts District for a festival-like atmosphere that starts at noon and doesn’t let up until midnight. Lastly, join the local music community on Sunday, November 8 for an afternoon matinee at The Key STL.
It all adds up to an exciting weekend for diehard St. Louis music fans, as well as those who may be seeing local music for the first time. Kranzberg Arts Foundation, which presents the annual MATI Festival and Conference, is sponsoring Free 4 All by providing venues and offering networking opportunities for participating artists.
The official Free 4 All 2026 form is open now, and submissions will close on Tuesday, August 11. Please share with the musicians and music fans in your life, and stay tuned for lineup announcements starting on September 1.
