Celebrate live arts and culture safely at Open Air, a concert series presented by Kranzberg Arts Foundation featuring St. Louis’ finest musicians. Hundreds have enjoyed the comforts of our safe live music experience since August — physically-distanced, of course. Indulge and imbibe from our rotating menu of seasonal food and drinks while the musicians light up the stage under the heated and well-ventilated tent outside The Grandel. Our lineup features sounds of jazz, blues, rock, soul, and americana on Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as Sundays for brunch.
Tickets start at $10. In addition to the ticket, Fridays and Saturdays have a $30, and Sundays have a $15, food & beverage minimum. All food must be ordered in advance. After purchasing your ticket, you’ll be sent an online order form where you will be able to pre-order your food and drinks. Additional beverages will be available for purchase day of the event. The order form will be sent the week of your event.
To ensure guest and staff safety, reservations are required for limited seating. Friday and Saturday reservations are for 6 PM or 8 PM. Sunday brunch is at 11 AM or 1 PM. To maintain appropriate physical distance, parties are limited to 6 guests per table. All guests are required to follow Kranzberg Arts Foundation’s COVID-19 mitigation policies including wearing face masks at all times, even while seated at their reserved tables unless eating or drinking. See full mitigation policies by clicking here.
