St. Charles History Museum to Host Two Back-to-Back Community Events in June

The St. Charles History museum will host two community events this June: the second annual Best of St. Charles Foodie Fest on Saturday, June 24 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 and Family Fun Day on Sunday, June 25 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

While sampling offerings from participating restaurants, Best of St. Charles Foodie Fest patrons will learn a bit about St. Charles history via photograph displays and historical features highlighting each participating restaurant’s building.

Patrons may also participate in the popular raffle auction and have a chance to enter the Tri-Cities 50/50 Community Raffle. 103.9’s Eddie Volkman and the Vanimal will also be present to pull the winning raffle ticket at 8:30 p.m. The winner will take home half the collected proceeds.

Family Fun Day participants will enjoy carnival games, kid-friendly food provided by the Slow Food Truck, live music, a dunk tank, face painting, a trackless train and much more.

“We’re very excited to be hosting these two wonderful events this year. It’s going to be a very fun weekend for foodies and families alike throughout the community,” stated Alison Costanzo, museum executive director.

Family Fest tickets are $25 for a family of four and includes 25 game tickets, a bag of popcorn and a bottle of water. Individual tickets are $10 and include 10 game tickets, a bag of popcorn and a bottle of water.

Best of St. Charles Foodie Fest tickets are $45 for members and $55 for non-members. Additional food tasting and drink tickets are available at the event.

Both events will held on the top deck of the 3rd Street parking deck adjacent to the museum.
