One of the things that makes the Kirkwood – Des Peres area so special is its sense of community and pride in the traditions the towns were built on. Festivals, community activities, and concert series abound throughout the year. Kirkwood Greentree Festival is the biggest community happening in Kirkwood, which is known as the “Greentree City.” There’s a parade, a festival in Kirkwood Park, and a week of activities leading up to the main event, which is held every September and routinely draws over 25,000 visitors.
