I call Soulard "The Little French Quarter" because it reminds me so much of the french quarter in New Orleans, LA. You'll love the french architecture, the people and the food!
St. Louis claims to have the biggest Mardi Gras event outside of New Orleans. It all goes down in Soulard, St. Louis' Mardi Gras hub, but there are a number of other balls and parades that take place all over town. St. Louis prides itself on the New Orleans-style cuisine it offers during Mardi Gras and there are plenty of highly recommended restaurants where you can enjoy it. If you'll be traveling with kids, try celebrating at the St. Louis Zoo. Admission is free and kids can make masks, listen to music, and join in a special parade.

I love Tower Grove Park. There is so much beauty there to explore. Find some time to plan a walk and bring your camera.
The park hosts Food Truck Friday's, Festival Of Nations, as well as other festivals around the year. I used to live in the Tower Grove neighborhood. My house actually faced the park so I enjoyed the views just sitting on my front porch.
