2023 WEBSTER ARTS FAIR

The Webster Arts Fair is loved by artists and patrons alike for its commitment to high-quality art in a warm and friendly environment. The Webster Arts Fair thrives on the support of knowledgeable patrons who take a personal interest in the artists and their work. The 2023 Webster Arts Fair, scheduled for June 2-4, will attract more than 20,000 visitors to historic Webster Groves, Missouri, an upscale suburb just 10 minutes west of downtown St. Louis. In the September 2016 issue, Sunshine Artists magazine ranked Webster Arts Fair as the 77th best fair, specializing in contemporary & classic fine craft. Sunshine Artists further noted that Webster Arts Fair "is known around the show circuit for its unbelievable artist treatment,” which “makes working this festival a delight.” Webster Arts Fair prides itself on the quality hospitality of its artists and treating crowds to delicious food, top-notch music performances, and unique creative activities for the whole family.

That’s why our sandwiches are still thoughtfully made with premium ingredients, using our Great-Grandma Thelma’s original recipe. Thelma’s treats are warming hearts across the country, because love is the main ingredient.

 

Mission Taco Joint

MTJ’s first location opened in St. Louis’ Delmar Loop in 2013, serving West Coast style street tacos and pouring beers from STL’s favorite craft breweries. Word quickly spread about the quality food and genuine hospitality and became a favorite place for students, young professionals, and families alike.
