Whitaker Music Festival at the Botanical Gardens: Laka Soul at Missouri Botanical Garden in Saint Louis, MO on Wednesday, July 8, 2026.
The Whitaker Musical Festival is the St. Louis summer tradition right at the beautiful Botanical Gardens. Bring a chair or blanket, and your own picnic food and beverages or purchase on site (no glass containers or bottles). Free admission starts at 5:30 pm and music starts at 7:00 pm. I highly recommend to be there early, because I can only reserve a small amount of space by myself. I am really excited about the artist, Laka Soul! Laka is a dynamic, St. Louis–based powerhouse singer, songwriter, and actress known for her commanding vocals and magnetic stage presence. She blends classic soul, blues, R&B, and pop, delivering electrifying live performances. For more information, directions, parking and event rules, please visit https://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/events-classes/signature-events/whitaker-music-festival I will indicate where/how to find us in the comments on the day of the event. Guests are welcomed, as long as they identify as female and are left leaning. Unfortunately, canine friends are not allowed according to park rules.
