May 17, 2025, National Kids to Parks Day and the city of St. Charles are partnering to bring the Historical Children’s Festival to downtown St. Charles. The event will begin at the First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site, where children are invited to travel back in time to life in the 1820’s and experience what it was like to live in that time period.
Included in the event are games from the 1820s, historic storytelling of 1800s life in St. Charles, children’s play passports to lead them through the event, and more. Many activities will be included, some offering prizes!

Registration for the event is not required, and all are welcome to attend, free of charge.
Attend the event on May 17th, from 10 AM–4 PM in downtown St. Charles. Find directions to the event site by clicking here.
