Ice Cream, Floats, Pumpkin Juice, and More at Grovefest

GroveFest is on Saturday, Oct 7th
3 pm to 11 pm here in The Grove*

For the past 17 years, GroveFest has brought thousands of St. Louis residents to The Grove to celebrate this community.

This annual street festival, which takes place on the first Saturday of October, is free and packs a ton of fun into one amazing day!

The Merchant Village, Food Village, family area, street performers, and main stage performances provide enough excitement to entertain all.

*Note: Serendipity's Ice Cream Shop is open from Noon to 9 pm.

Look for Serendipity at Grovefest!
We’re an “Alcohol & Food Vendor”

Serendipity will have a “booth” at Grovefest where we will be serving up all kinds of frozen treats and delicious beverages.

Keep things simple! With cups of ice cream, root beers, a selection of 4 Hands Brewing Co beers, and our special Pumpkin Juice cocktail. Note: Our Pumpkin Juice can be enjoyed with or without alcohol added to it.

Make it a Float! With root beer floats, beer floats (again with a selection of 4 Hand Brewing Co beers), and a our special Pumpkin Juice float. We like our “float” to have a big scoop of vanilla or ice cream of your choice.

What’s Pumpkin Juice? A special blend of pumpkin flavored apple cider. We like our Pumpkin Juice “spirited” with a shot of spiced rum or spirit of your choice.

“We are so excited to have a booth at this year’s Grovefest. We hope you will stop by and visit us on Saturday!”
