  • Summer Concert Series at Station Plaza: This series features local and regional musical acts on select Thursday evenings, 6:30 to 9:00 p.m., June through September, at Station Plaza in downtown Kirkwood. These concerts are free and open to the public. Many of them are sponsored by downtown business. For a full concert schedule, starting in late spring, visit the Downtown Kirkwood website.
  • Kirkwood Greentree Festival: This annual three-day festival has been a happening event for more than 55 years. It kicks off every year on the 2nd weekend after labor Day in Kirkwood Park with music, food, an arts and crafts booth area, the Folklife Festival, games and activities for kids, and a car show and sailboat regatta on Sundays. There's something for everyone. Bring the whole family. Learn more about the Festival on this page of this website.

  • Sweets on Every Street in Downtown Kirkwood: Downtown Kirkwood annually hosts "Sweets on Every Street" as a way to treat yourself and celebrate community by enjoying a leisurely stroll while sampling specialty foods such as donuts, pastries, gluten-free baked goods, chocolates, ice cream, and gelato.
