Traffic & Parking During the Festival

On Saturdays and Sundays during Saint Charles Christmas Traditions®, South Main Street will be closed to vehicular traffic from Boone's Lick to Jefferson.

This closure will allow pedestrians to stroll, shop, dine, and enjoy the festival and all that Main Street has to offer in a safe environment. 

If you are planning to join the fun on the weekends, here are a few tips to help you navigate the closure and ideas on parking:

• There will be dedicated Accessible Parking spots in the 100 and 300 block public parking lots along Riverside Drive
• The City Hall Parking Garage located at Monroe and Second Street is free and Open to the Public on the weekends
• Main Street Parking will be available along North Main from Jefferson to Clark
• The lower lot of the Ameristar Casino will be open for additional parking, lot must be accessed through the Parking Lot at Bishops Landing (Boone's Lick & Riverside) - there will be a shuttle service for guests that need assistance. (the shuttles will pick up/drop off in the lot and at Boone's Lick and South Main)
• The St. Charles Police Department will have officers assigned at strategic locations to help guest with traffic and pedestrian needs
• During the festival hours there will be two Trolleys in operation, they will pick up riders along Riverside Drive instead of Main Street
