Meet me in StL for the Holidays

About this event

Cost: Free Museum Lee Auditorium Happy Hour: 5:00-6:30 Talk: 6:30-8:00

These meetups will be a little different - there may or may not be a meetup host at these events, so this is more a way to let people in this group know these history talks are taking place. You may or may not see anyone else from the meetup group there if you choose to go.

Thursday Nights at the Museum is a weekly series where the museum exhibits are open late and you can enjoy pop-up activities, a cash bar, food and more.

"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 vendors at our Holiday Market.

"Following the presentation, foreword writer Benjamin Dreyer will sign copies of Meet Me in St. Louis , which will be available for purchase in the Sold on St. Louis shop."
