My family is making a big move to Kirkwood, Missouri. Okay, it’s really just 20 minutes and about 1.5 suburbs away. We’re looking forward to taking advantage of all the FREE family-fun activities that Kirkwood offers. Some of these below are on our bucket list.

The City of Kirkwood will host its Route 66 Cars and Guitars Festival on June 11, 2022, in downtown Kirkwood. The festival’s theme of “Cars and Guitars” speaks to the rich transportation and music history of the region. Live music and vintage vehicles will anchor this outdoor event. Most of Downtown Kirkwood’s numerous stores, locally owned boutiques, and restaurants will be open during the event. Festival activities will be located on North Kirkwood Road and on the two blocks of Jefferson that intersect Kirkwood Road. (more info)
Activities will be bountiful during the Downtown Kirkwood Sidewalk Sale and Kirkwood Farmers’ Market Peach Festival on Saturday, July 16. Visitors to Downtown Kirkwood will enjoy peach samples from local farmers as well as peach related treats and menu items at Kirkwood Farmers’ Market. Music by Back Page Agenda throughout the day.
