We're looking forward to cozy cafe evenings and weekend staycations at local bed & breakfasts... it's winter in St. Charles!

Locals will tell you that winter is a wonderful time to be in Saint Charles. From the annual Fete de Glace Ice Festival (returning on January 28th) to the brand new "90's Nite" at the Foundry Art Centre, cohosted by the Local 636, Cozy Shop STL, and the Foundry Art Centre, there's always something fun AND free going on, even in January. Experience the ambiance of Historic Main Street and the Saint Charles area during any season.  Winter provides the perfect opportunity to peruse shops without the holiday crowds, and cozy up with hot cocoa in a local cafe. Take advantage of January's break in the madness of the holidays to plan a mid-week date night at a local restaurant to surprise your loved one, and maybe even stay the night at one of our many comfortable accommodations.  Try your luck at Ameristar Casino, discover the arts with a class at the Foundry Art Centre (register now for both adult and child classes), and explore a local historical attraction, like the Lewis and Clark Boat House and Museum. Take the short drive from Saint Charles to Historic Missouri Wine Country to find natural scenic beauty and sample award-winning wines.  This is the perfect time to explore our website and start planning your future visit.
