“This event’s debut takes us one step closer to St. Louis achieving the national recognition it deserves as being a city steeped in a rich, historical tradition coupled with an edgy, modern music scene.” :: insideSTL.com
PLAY:stl is looking for sponsors to assist us in putting on the second annual PLAY:stl Festival Sept. 18-20, 2008. PLAY:stl 2007 was a great success with thousands of music fans visiting 9 stages and seeing 90 great bands from St. Louis and across the U.S. You and your business can be part of the process this year. We are looking for partners and sponsors to join us in bringing off a bigger and better PLAY:stl in 2008. This year we will once again be holding the festival in the Delmar Loop section of St. Louis for three days - September 18-20.
