SUMMARY:St. Louis Shakespeare Festival: Two Gentleman of Verona
DESCRIPTION:Best friends Valentine and Proteus swear loyalty to each other… until they both fall for the same woman. Suddenly loyalty\, love\, and good judgment all go out the window. Complete with disguises\, misunderstandings\, and one very scene-stealing dog\, this is Shakespeare’s original rom-com about friendship\, forgiveness\, and the hilarious messiness of growing up. \nDon’t miss the talented actors live on stage at the Bellevue Park Bandshell on August 13th! St. Louis Shakespeare Festival’s commitment to accessible theater means this event is FREE to attend and held right here in one of our public parks. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:42nd Annual Belleville Chili Cook Off
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Greater Belleville Chamber of Commerce\, the Annual Chili Cook-Off has been a beloved tradition for more than 41 years!\nWhat began as a small event with just a handful of vendors on one block of East Main Street has grown into one of Belleville’s largest and most anticipated festivals—featuring over 60 vendors showcasing their best chili recipes. \nWhile many attend for the delicious chili\, live entertainment\, and festive atmosphere\, few realize the event’s incredible impact: it’s the biggest fundraiser of the year for many local non-profit organizations. In fact\, more than half of the participating vendors represent non-profits or businesses raising money for charitable causes.\nAttendees can also make a difference by voting in the People’s Choice Contest—just $1 per vote\, with 100% of proceeds benefiting the Community Interfaith Food Pantry in Belleville.\nJoin us for great food\, great fun\, and a great cause!
