We stopped by for the annual Christmas market and parade. Parking at the historic Lewis and Clark Boathouse, pictured below, soon filled up.
Further along by the river is the old railroad station.
The Missouri River runs parallel to Main Street where locals and visitors gathered to watch the parade event between shopping and eating.

The sign to the left marks the old trail to Fort Osage, established August 25, 1808. General Clark and his men were guided by Nathan Boone, son of Daniel Boone as they headed west.
We saw a variety of Christmas gifts and lots of food-- a sample.
You can hear these women sing in the video below.

The English Shop got my attention--but I think they should call it British.
At the end of the parade, Santa appeared.
There's a touch of international flavour.
Here's a video of the Christmas parade we watched 4 December 2022.
One of their biggest festivals is Heritage Days -- a re-enactment of Lewis & Clark's 1804 camp.
St Charles is less than a half-hour west of St Louis where we visited other sites during our Christmas getaway.
