Sauce’s Harvest Festival returns to Tower Grove Park on Oct. 13

Fall vibes, activate! Sauce Magazine’s annual Harvest Festival returns to Tower Grove Park from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 13, and we’re excited that this year’s event should be the best one yet. As always, it’s free to attend, but we do recommend bringing a picnic blanket or some lawn chairs to enjoy the day to its fullest. 

We’ve got more than 60 local businesses slated to attend this beloved party in the park, including over a dozen food trucks, artisan vendors, farmers and more. The full lineup of vendors can be found at harvestfeststl.com, but some of the highlights include Sando Shack, Beast Craft BBQ Co., Grace Chicken + Fish, 4 Hands Brewing Co., Southside Alchemy, Two Men and a Garden, Tastachios, Benton Park Prints, Moon & June Studio and Twinkle Brews Candle. Co.

Perhaps most exciting this year is our incredible live music lineup: Brother Soultones (an offshoot of Brother Francis and the Soultones) will kick things off, playing from 10:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Next up, we’ve got The Blue Sparks, giving all the high-energy rockabilly jams, from 1 to 2:45 p.m. Our headliner for the day is Alligator Wine, St. Louis’ best Grateful Dead tribute band, wrapping things up from 3 to 5 p.m.

We’ll be in the same location as Sauce Food Truck Friday at 4267 Southeast Drive within the park, but the footprint of the event will be much larger. The forecast is looking warm and dry with a high of 80 degrees, so the weather couldn’t be more perfect. Dogs are allowed on leashes, so bring your furry friends along to join in the fun. Please note that while we do have farmers, this isn’t a farmers market, per se, so don’t expect tons of fresh produce, although there may be some. Also, all the vendor spots are full for the year, so don’t believe all the scammers on social media saying we’re still accepting vendors. See you at the park!
