The Hyde Park Festival is held each year in the Hyde Park neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. The festival has been held for over 25 years. This year the festival is being organized by a group of the area Non-Profit and business organizations. Hyde Park is a dynamic place to experience these days. This once vibrant community with its rich history has experienced much urban decay in the recent past. As we look to the past we can see what the future holds for this historic neighborhood. In the midst of vacant buildings there is a revival beginning to take place. New businesses are opening and many of the vacant historic buildings are being rehabbed. The dynamic present offers us a glimpse into the bright future of Hyde Park. Today we see children playing in the parks, people walking the streets, and there is a growing awareness that Hyde Park is about to again become the vibrant neighborhood it once was. Come to the festival and see for yourself the historic past, dynamic present, and bright future of Hyde Park.
