Set Course for Coffee

If you’re itching for a caffeine fix, check out Course Coffee, a micro coffee roaster located in the Frenchtown historic district in St. Charles. Inspired by their mutual love of coffee and travel, the three co-owners host seasonal tasting events, educational classes, and daily coffee flights from around the world. Linger in the vintage-inspired and eclectic gathering space or grab a cup to-go for a java-fueled riverside walk by the park. Click here to learn all about their blends and offerings. 

Paddleboards, Ziplines, and Rock Climbs, Oh My! 

Pro-Tip: disguise your calisthenics as adventure and have such a good time that you’ll barely realize you’re working out! Summer fitness can be fun, and here’s a list to prove it: paddle boarding, ziplining, and rock climbing! Check out these excellent local options to paddle, zip, and climb!

Outdoor Summer Movie Nights 

9 Mile Garden is putting a pandemic twist on the classic dinner-and-a-movie. Each Saturday evening through October the outdoor food truck garden will pair their dinner service with a date-night-worthy (and awesomely family friendly) flick on their big outdoor screen! Click here for the full list of movies and all the details! 

Outdoor Exhibition at the Pulitzer

On view now through October at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation is a new outdoor exhibit by New York born artist, Chloë Bass. The exhibition, entitled Wayfinding, is made up of a collection of more than 30 reflective signs at different scales which are placed throughout the Pulitzer’s outdoor spaces. The works are intended to explore a range of human emotions and the reflective nature of the signage and thought-provoking texts ensure that no two visitors (or even the same visitor twice) will have the same experience. Click here to learn more and plan your trip!
