Webster Groves Community Days

Pets, music, food and fun: Webster Groves has it all during its Community Days Independence Day Festival, which takes place Wednesday through Saturday (July 3 to 6) at 40 Acres (Elm and Glendale avenues; www.webstergroves.org/communitydays.org). The Webster Groves Lions will handle the barbecue duties, and they've also arranged for carnival rides and the midway booths. Local bands including Brawsh, Cortez the Killer and Dang will perform during the evenings, with fireworks spectaculars scheduled for 9:30 p.m. Thursday and Saturday. Admission to Community Days is free.
