LouFest and the St. Louis Regional Chamber have partnered to create LouFest U, a free festival for area university students, on Friday, September 8, 2017, from 4 to 10 p.m. The event will kick-off LouFest weekend, taking place on the Upper Muny Grounds and Festival Plaza in Forest Park. 

LouFest U will feature performances from local and national bands – including a special performance by a LouFest alumni band – guest speakers, and opportunities for young minds to engage with regional employers and entrepreneurial organizations. The event is free to all students with a college ID or valid university email address.
