Maifest

St. Louis' oft-delayed spring has finally shown itself, bringing with it patio dining, picnics and an end to coats and mittens. Urban Chestnut's Midtown location (3229 Washington Avenue; www.urbanchestnut.com) officially welcomes the season with Maifest. The traditional German celebration of good weather and outside livin' once again features live music, spring BBQ, a healthy lineup of strong Bock-style beers and baby goats. That's right, baby goats, perfect for petting and photo ops. Maifest starts at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 25, and admission is free. If you buy a commemorative tasting glass, you'll receive discounted refills — but under no circumstances should you share beer with the goats. They're underage, and you'll go to jail.
