Celebrate the start of spring in St. Charles at Main Street in Bloom. On May 3rd and 4th, the storefronts are decorated with vibrant pastel floral and ribbons to welcome in spring. Main Street is always photogenic with its historic charm, but it’s extra picturesque during this festival, with businesses adding their own fun backdrops that are perfect for photo ops.
Watch and listen as the Lewis & Clark Fife and Drum Corps parade down Main Street at 1:40 PM each day, followed by the Maypole Dance at 2 PM in Berthold Square Park. Girls dressed in flowing white dresses perform a ceremonial folk dance around the Maypole decorated with flowers and ribbons symbolizing spring and the season of renewal.
Kids can get creative at the free craft stations along Main Street, where they can make their own keepsakes to remember the day. And with Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to shop local for unique gifts for the mother figure in your life. Browse stylish clothing, charming jewelry, soothing handmade soaps, and more from the shops on Main Street. Don’t forget to grab a bite to eat from a local restaurant too! Main Street in Bloom is the ultimate way to say hello to spring in St. Charles.
Enjoy a variety of Easter events for the whole family in St. Charles. Whether you’re looking for a traditional egg hunt, a special Easter brunch, craft workshops, or photos with the Easter Bunny, there’s something for everyone to have a hopping good time.
