The Soulard Farmer's Market, one of the few remaining open-air markets in the country, sells fresh produce, meats, bakery goods and flowers. Just south of the market is the Trinity Lutheran Church at Eighth and Soulard Streets. The original church, built in 1865, was destroyed by the 1896 tornado which roared through Soulard, destroying numerous homes, churches and businesses. The church was rebuilt by its German congregation into its present majestic structure. Events such as the annual Bastille Day celebration in July and Soulard Mardi Gras activities in February bring thousands of people into this lively ethnic neighborhood.
Visitors can enjoy the unique blues music clubs, pubs and fine restaurants and outdoor cafes.
