Canoe Concert Series
We’re bringing live music back to the river. And this time, it floats.
Introducing our new Canoe Concert Series: part river trip, part dinner party, part front-row show you won’t find on land. We’ve invited some of our favorite musicians to grab their instruments, climb into a canoe, and rock the river.
Each outing is its own experience, but the essentials are dialed in: a fully guided paddle on the Mississippi or Missouri River, a multi-course meal from a standout St. Louis chef, and a live musical performance.
You’ll move with the water, eat well, and catch a show in the most unexpected venue around.
Check out the dates below for full details and featured artists.
