Missouri’s mostly weirdly wonderful museum is getting festive!

Weirdly Wonderful Holidays returns to City Museum in St. Louis Nov. 19 with holiday light displays, visits by your favorite characters, unique performances, seasonal treats and more.

Visitors can stop by Santa’s Workshop, join Mrs. Claus for story time and meet Jack Frost. Circus Harmony will perform a special holiday-themed show, and those who are inspired to take the spotlight themselves can pick up a mic and sing carols at Holiday Karaoke.

City Museum’s bars will also be transformed for the season, offering seasonal beers and cocktails. Hours for performances and special guests vary; visit the City Museum website for a complete schedule.

Guests can also ring in the new year on a weird note at City Museum’s New Year’s Eve Party from 5-9 p.m. Dec. 31. The all-ages event will include crafts, face painting, karaoke, dance parties and more, as well as a balloon drop at 8 p.m. Weirdly Wonderful Holidays and the New Year’s Eve Party are both included with general admission.

Brand New: Goth Holidays
For a truly “weird” holiday experience, kick off the season with City Nights: Goth Holidays, a new 21+ celebration Nov. 13, 7-11 p.m. Wear your best holiday goth attire for a night of cocktails, crafting, dancing, fortune tellers and more, all set within the caves and caverns of the City Museum.

Housed in a renovated shoe factory in downtown St. Louis, City Museum is part indoor playground, part interactive art installation, with more than 29,000 unique artifacts spread across 600,000 square feet. Adventurous visitors will find caverns, caves, slides, a Ferris wheel and even a giant pair of underwear.

City Museum is located at 750 N. 16th St., St. Louis, MO.
