Join the Lafayette Square neighborhood and business district for a Friday night festival celebrating an evening of racing under the lights!
Lafayette Square is known as one of the country’s best preserved examples of Victorian “Painted Lady” architecture dating from the 1870’s and 1880’s. It is also St. Louis’s oldest historic district. The neighborhood (and tonight’s race course) surrounds the first public park in the city of St. Louis as well as one of the first public parks west of the Mississippi. The neighborhood took a hit during the Great Depression and after WWII, but thanks to the restoration efforts of a determined group of urban pioneers, Lafayette Square saw a renaissance starting in the early 1970’s. Today it is one of the crown jewels of St. Louis, with condo and loft developments as well as a business district blossoming with restaurants boutiques and art galleries.
