Celebrate the season and the enduring St. Louis story that gave us one of the most cherished holiday films of all time—Meet Me in St. Louis. Bestselling author and former executive managing editor and copy chief of Random House Benjamin Dreyer, who wrote the foreword to the newly released edition of Sally Benson’s classic book, joins MHS curator Sharon Smith to explore the story’s St. Louis roots, its journey from page to screen, and why it continues to hold such a special place in the hearts of St. Louisans. See the iconic red dress worn by Judy Garland during the film’s Christmas scene; enjoy live holiday music; and make a night of it with festive food, drinks, and shopping from local Holiday Market vendors.
