This year, the daily festival is going to be kicked off by the inaugural Winterfest 5K on Saturday, November 20, 2021. Presented by Caleres, proceeds from the race benefit the Gateway Arch Park Foundation's mission of conservation, preservation, education and community programs. It costs $40 to participate and the route begins at Kiener Plaza and rolls through the beautiful Arch grounds.

The outdoor festival runs from November 20, 2021 all the way through January 2, 2022. Visit archpark.org/events/winterfest-2021 for more information, including pricing for skate rentals or to sign up for the 5K.
