ST. LOUIS — The Lily Pond in Francis Park is aglow with holiday spirit as “Lights at the Lily Pad: An Enchanted Market” takes over today.

Organized by the team behind Grub and Groove, the festive event features carolers, holiday music, hot cocoa, beverage stations, fire pits, food trucks, and even a holiday movie screening. Guests can enjoy the sights and sounds while supporting a great cause.

All profits benefit South City Investment Corp, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the park and nearby areas. Proceeds from the event will also help local charities provide for families in need during the 2024 holiday season.
